Top of the 12

 

My TOP of 2012 in no particular order. Here it is and I would love to know what were some of your tops for 2012. I initially tried to make my list my top 12 of 12 but I just had too many highlights this year which is not a bad problem to have.  I consider myself an incredibly lucky and blessed girl. My family is healthy and safe. I have a roof over my head and for the most part I have gotten the things I have desired. 2012 was full of growing pains, adventure and realizations. I expect nothing less and so much from 2013.

 2013 holds a new job, vegetarianism (maybe), more adventures, going natural, reading through all the classics and more consistency and maturity in my life!!

Happy New Year!!
