What better way to celebrate the year than to go back and review and actually celebrate the year. What a year it has been. I started my own business and started working again, C began school and as always I learned bucket loads about myself, the world and the people around me. It was great. It was up and down and all around and I would not change one hair on its head. Here's a little bit of the goods that I won't soon forget...

Without a moment's hesitation I do so solemnly swear that I don't have one single regret for the year 2011. And yet, I turn to this wonderful quote from Oprah as my mantra for the new year. It does not suggest that this year went wrong or was wrong, it just means that it all keeps getting better and better and my ideals are closer and closer. XO. S
