2008 was.....

A decent year. It began with a smile and is ending with one as well. In between were moments of utter joy, of sadness, of tears, of roaring laughter, of confusion, of transition, of pride, of newness, and of conclusions.

I entered my 31st year with a stronger sense of self, and recently achieved an a-ha moment, that has helped me get a better understanding of why and how.

Each year though I get smarter, work harder, achieve more. I've learned from my mistakes, and each next time around I get a little better at everything. My creativity erupted this year, my personal achievements in my physiological performance have taken flight.

I started working in an environment that brings me great satisfaction, one in which I adore and am so proud to be a part of. I've learned this year even more about myself, mostly through everyone else, and even more specifically through those darling people I work with. If it wasn't for them, I fear I wouldn't be so humble and wouldn't have the sense of gratitude that I hold. My family unit and my friends, all of whom are close or distant, near and dear or simply waves or nods, are such important components of my being.

So cheers to a great year of growth, may 2009 be even better, I have a feeling that it will be fantastic!

You...
You believed ...
You believed in movements none could see.
You believed in me

A passionate spirit
Uncompromised
Boundless and open
A light in your eyes
Then immobilized.
