Happy New Year!!!

Well, I have my first year of blogging under my belt - and I loved it! I hope you have enjoyed some of my art and photos throughout the year.

As the this year closes and a new one approaches, I am very aware of how much I'm grateful for from 2006! Here's the top 10 in no particular order:

• I took some wonderful trips: Los Angeles with Willie, New York to see Dana, Seattle with Mom & Connie, San Francisco with Willie to see Danny and Claire.
• Being part of an artist's circle which has been connecting and inspiring
• Having time to become more active in Woman Within
• Finding some fun contract work to help me through unemployment painlessly
• Quitting some bad habits and adding some new good ones
• Getting certified in financial planning
• Enjoying unconditional love and quality time with my mom
• Staying connected with my friends - I have some FANTASTIC friends
• Starting and loving my new job
• Having Willie in my life to love and share my path with!

May tomorrow be a beautifull beginning to joyous, prosperous and fulfilling year! Happy New Year Everyone!! XOXO
