Goodbye and thank you, 2011! Hello 2012!

Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, July 2011

What was 2011 for me?

Before I answer that question, I cannot help but think back and reflect on what happened in 2010. 2010 was characterized by major upheavals, changes and life-changing decisions. It was more of a rollercoaster ride and taking leaps of faith.

But 2011…it was more like a gentle, quiet and continuous breeze…of settling down and calming down after a storm. There were exciting and challenging events this year but the general feeling was that of contentment.

2011 was a year

of blessing,

of inspiration,

of enjoying and living the moment, and

of smiling and laughing heartily.

 

But it was also a year

of challenging myself to be better,

of continuously striving to achieve excellence,

of staying the course and not giving an inch, and

of constantly believing that there is a reason to HOPE.

 

I am grateful for 2011. It was awesome, fun, wonderful, and love!

Welcome 2012!
