Christmas 2012
Merry Christmas!
I hope that you are happy, well, and healthy. As I was worshipping the sun one day on the beach in the past couple of weeks I began to reflect on the year. I am still amazed at how this time of year always makes me reflect on my life. There has been much reflection on this past year. And what a year it has been! It has been a year of decisions, choices, and change. I am amazed at how much my life has changed and how I chose to turn everything upside down.
However, each of you still continue to amaze me and touch my life in many ways. I am very grateful and thankful for your love and support. Travel with me down memory lane for a recap of 2012.
