This is my favorite part of the year! I LOVE change....more than anyone will ever know!! I love new possibilities, new opportunities and new beginnings. I love this time of year because I feel joined by millions of people who want to better their lives. This is the time of year when people aren't afraid to recognize their weaknesses and resolve to overcome them. It's the time when people dare to dream, set goals, and seek to reach their full potential. I believe that everyone wants to be the best they can, but sometimes it's scary to change. Thank goodness for new years for giving us that courage!
2010 was very bittersweet for me. It was by far the hardest year of my life. It was also the most rewarding. I have never grown so much in all my life. As I look back on the last 12 months, I literally can see my growth! I am a completely different person than I was 365 days ago! It's like night and day!! I experienced my highest-highs, and my lowest-lows. This is my life...and I would not trade that for the world.
Some highlights from 2010:
Went on a (much needed) road-trip to St. George with my best friend in February
Had way too much fun with my roomies!!
