Goodbye 2013

I would be lying if I said I was sad to see 2013 end. It was supposed to be epic! The year of lucky for me. But as this year comes to a close tonight I can honestly say it was been one of the best years of my life.

2013 brought the first year of my 30's, and the end of my marriage, but it also brought me: Sophie, my own house, a wonderful new church, closer to family and friends, meeting blog friends IRL, and perhaps the most wonderful blessing, le guy. So here's a recap of my year!

The Alexander 3

This year has taught me that life is a precious gift from God,  so live every moment as if its your last, count your blessings and put Him above all else. I could not have made it through without the love and support of so many people. To each of you that has touched my life thank you. Know that each of you is an angel on my shoulder reminding me of the greater importance in life. I'm not making resolution or intention this year, and I have no idea what 2014 will bring and for the first time in my life I am ok with it. God has a way and a plan and I will live for that.

God Bless and Happy New Year!

2013

Obligatory, standard, yeah we have all done it today: posted our resolutions, new beginnings, big announcements, etc... Yes, with a new year people decide its time to change, look at the past year and see what could have or should have been and resolve for the next 30 365 days.

Sure I could sit here and tell you how I would like to eat cleaner, lose 5 pounds, be a better friend and wife, but alas none of those things are possible with a good relationship with myself and God.

This year will be the year of self improvement and personal growth; of reconnecting with my faith and walking hand-in-hand with the Lord. Change is not possible if you are not open to it, which means an open heart--a heart filled with love and joy and faith.

This year I will renew my faith and chose to walk a purposeful life. I will be less quick to judge and anger, and let go of hate and regret. I will reconnect with my friends, as they fill me with joy. I will work on self happiness by taking each day at a time and  not giving in to anyone else's demands of me. I will open myself up to new opportunities and be a better me.

Happy 2013 everyone!
