Welcome to 2013!!!

Well... Here is my very first blog post!  I have decided that I wanted to start a journal type blog that will follow any and everything I may be doing in my daily life.  I have always wanted to keep a journal, but was never disciplined enough to do so... so here we are.  A start of a new year and a start of a new adventure.  I am looking to make 2013 my year.  I want to do all that I can to make myself and my world a better place.  The title of this new journey is "... And so she would dance."  This comes from a poem that I came across and it struck me to the core.

"She realized she was lucky - because she could actually see it - how the trees got more beautiful each year...how they danced with such graceful pride, surviving each season's change...and she knew their beauty lied not in the perfection, but the growth...and she could see it - in the trees, the people around her, and some days, even in herself...and so she would dance"  Unknown

It is time for me to see the growth in myself-- time for me to take time for me!  So, bare with me as I stumble through this process!  I am excited to see how this goes, and I am looking forward to the future!!

Happy New Year everyone!! Here's to 2013!
