2012 Year In Review

Facebooktwitterpinterestlinkedinmail

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I have said my good-bye to 2012 and welcomed in 2013 with an expectation of abundance in all areas of my life.  I am grateful to all of the people who helped shape my values, views, and victories.

 

The one sentence that sums up my 2012 is “leap and the net will appear”.  It has served me well as I learned to let go of perfection and analysis paralysis. 

 

Stay tuned for greater leaps in 2013.
