2012 in Review

Now that I have a hot minute to enjoy my coffee on this lovely, sunny Sunday morning, I want to take a moment to do a '2012 in Review'. I live my life in such full throttle ahead that sometimes it's nice to look back and remember some of the great (and not as great) memories from the year before. I did this last year (when I figure out how to insert link to that post here, I will) and loved the walk down memory lane. In my January post this time last year (again, with figuring out the linking up thing) I mentioned my word of the year this year would be 'ADVENTURE'; and that I was finally going to push myself to discover new things in travel (which we did in Greece & Istanbul) as well as many other avenues I had been wanting to try. I'm really proud to say that I really did take a lot more risks this year and have pushed my comfort zones further than I ever have in both my professional and personal life. And? .... it only brought forth successes, growth and better results all around. To me, that's what life is all about; growth, learning & no regrets!
