2013 was maybe the most challenging year I’ve ever faced. Never have I had to deal with so many curve balls at once–from getting to know a new city and making new friends to navigating the world of freelance, raising a new puppy and watching Eaman start his own business. It was a lot to contend with at once. In a way I’m kind of ready for 2013 to be over.
That said, this year was also about many dreams coming true. I very much believe in willing things to happen and will forever remember 2013 as the year when so many goals became realities. Sometimes I sit on my couch and look at my freelance articles, my boyfriend (of nearly 8 years!), my puppy sleeping by my feet and the homey space we’ve created here in San Diego and give myself a little pat on the back. We done good in 2013.
Onward to 2014. I want more stability. I want to feel less “new.” I want to stick with the yoga regimen I got serious about at the end of 2013. (I’m loving Pura Vida, a vinyasa studio in downtown San Diego.) I want to brush more off my shoulders. I want to go to Big Sur. I want to stop falling asleep on the couch. That last one needs to happen asap.
Happy new year friends! Thank you for reading, following and writing.

That’s wonderful that you achieved a lot of goals in 2013! One of my big resolutions for 2014 is to be more ambitious. I set some pretty big goals for myself this year, and just wrote a post on it…

Happy New Year! Here’s to a wonderful 2014!
Thank you! I love the goals you’ve set for yourself. I tried Ashtanga here and really liked it — I hope you find a studio you like! And I’m now so intrigued by the Never Be Sick Again book. It’s very on point for me, and not just for a resolution to fizzle in February like you said. I need a total shift!
