Our final post… week 52 of 52. What a year it’s been… A year of adventure. And change. And growth. And new. And good-byes. And laughter. And tears. And friendship. And so much more.
Here are some of my favorite photos from this 2016 blog journey. I am so grateful that my dear friend Shirina agreed to do this with me one year ago. It has been such an honor. I have laughed, cried, sang, danced, screamed, whispered, climbed, experienced and grew over these past 52 weeks, all with my amazing soul sister cheering me on. 
Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year. I hope it is filled with love, laughter, new memories, good health and then more love.
Every year, several of my friends pick a word for the new year. I have yet to pick one, as nothing has really come to me yet. Normally I will dream of something and it will bring me my word. Or I will wake to a word. Or it will just make an appearance, in a really strange way. Nothing yet. I think the Universe brings us what we need, if and when we need it. So for now, I’m patiently waiting….

Loosely based on the movie ‘New Years Eve’ but I like what she said, so sharing it here:
Stop and reflect on the year that has gone by
remember our triumphs and missteps
Our promises made and broken
The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures or closed ourselves down for fear of getting hurt
Because that’s what New Years is all about … getting another chance
A chance to forgive
to do better
to do more
to give more
to love more
And stop worrying about what if…
and start embracing what will be…..
Let’s remember to be nice to each other
kind to each other
not just on New Years Day
but every day
Wishing you all a wonderful New Year as we move from 2016 to 2017…. I’m looking forward to what will be
xo, Shirina
