Happy 2012!

So another year has gone by and I still cannot believe how quickly 2011 has come and gone! Reflecting on the past year, I'm realizing the older I get, the faster time is passing me by. It's actually kind of scary! After some thinking, I've realized how much I need to cherish the simpler, smaller things in my everyday and to reflect more on my life. I'll be honest... I didn't make many resolutions(if any) in 2011. I didn't want to make them for the sake of the "new year hype" when deep down I didn't feel the need to go out of my way to achieve them just for the sake of saying I did. Looking back however, I've learned its more productive to write down some goals and have yourself reflect on the past year.

This past holiday has given me a chance to not only fill myself up with the most delicious(some many unhealthy) meals, but it gave me a moment to pause and think about how I would like this upcoming year to change for the better. I wrote some of these "resolutions" in my planner and I'd like to share some with you here. I wont be killing myself to accomplish every single one, but I will try my best to achieve as many as I can. Consistency is key. I hope that by the end of the year I can look back and know that I've tried my best. This blog will be a useful tool where we can all keep each other accountable. Here's to the new year and may this year be full of fabulous memories, love & laughter for all of you! :) Xx
