HELLO 2017

The best way to say “Hello” to a new year is to say your “Goodbyes” to the last one.

In doing so I wanted to thank you, my loyal and new readers for taking the time to read, browse and once in awhile comment on this little blog of mine.  It means a lot to know others actually do read what you spend time writing and photographing about.

As I said my goodbyes to 2016 last night it truly brought me to my knees in totally gratitude when I reflected on all the many blessings I have in my life.

I have a small but extremely close family but my own and extended.  We all truly love one another and that in and of itself is a huge blessing.

I have true friends, and I mean true to the very core.  Ones that are loyal, ones that make me cry and laugh and are always here for me.  I have friends whom I’ve met through this blogging as well as instagram that have become some of my most cherished and the circle keeps expanding (which is a most wonderful thing).

I have been blessed with great health.

I have a gospel which brings me more joy than I can possibly imagine.

With this New Year beginning, I hope and pray it will bring you much joy and happiness.  May you remember to live it as fully, as bravely, and as bravely as you possibly can.
