beginning 2012

The year begins, and something feels renewed.

A memory of the last year with all the triumphs & losses. Life & laughter.
One memory after another. Thankful posts, counting blessings.

I learned that to believe I can let go will be easier than hanging on.

I let go of my feelings of inadequacy to believe that everything will be ok in the end. It isn't the end yet.

But that strength is there, as wind to my back.

Gaining momentum throughout the whole year.
I'm looking forwards to what the next 364 days have.

Last year I started:

walking, yoga, eating more simply, losing weight
& taking better care of myself.

Now I will run. Make an impact. Change.

A quiet beauty in my week is a group of Wednesdays that welcomed me in the times when I felt lost. As a natural introvert who craves alone time.

Praying, eating, reading, fellowship & empathy. So thankful.

I'm looking forward to solo road trips & flights.
But most of all running a race start to finish.

Because truly I would still claim alone time is necessary for me, often.

Happy New Year!
It feels larger than life!
