happy new year!

hello friends!  i’m so sorry for the radio silence, i checked out for the holidays and didn’t look back.  it was just what i needed!  i hope you’ve all had a great couple of weeks with lots of time with the people you love, yummy treats and happiness!

are you making resolutions this year?  i’ve settled on one. i’m going to do my best to live by this quote from gandhi:  be the change you wish to see in the world.  for me that means more giving, more forgiveness, more love. it means that i’ll focus more on others and less on myself, i’ll find ways to help those who are in need in my community, i’ll challenge my beliefs and address the inconsistencies i find within my life.  i’ve got high hopes for 2013 my friends, for all of us!  i’ll keep you posted throughout the year as i work on this.  

would love to hear all of your resolutions and hopes for 2013!
