a new year

it's almost that time - out with the old, in with the new. goodbye 2011.

how will i commemorate that here, on my blog? i thought about highlighting the most popular posts - but there really weren't that many.

maybe chronicle the past year with important posts from each month? ummm...i wasn't a very consistent blogger.

so i've decided to look forward. don't get me wrong - there is so much that occurred this year that has been a blessing: my husband's business, my business, countless milestones that little man has reached...........even the fact that my mother went home to be with the Lord. painful but a celebration.

i made mistakes, i learned, i had failures, i had successes, we had struggles and we had achievements.

intentional.

i tried to be intentional in all that i did - sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.

so on to 2012.

i won't be making any new year's resolutions, so to speak but i have a few lifestyle changes in mind. i have some goals i'd like to work toward. new designs and a new division of sorts for bonhomie. i'd also like to grow this little blog of mine and create some community.

so what will my word of the year be for 2012? 'growth' maybe? i don't know. i'll pray, i'll contemplate and we'll see :-)

i'm excited to see what this new year brings.

what are your hopes for the new year?
