Happy New Year everyone!!!!! I pray that you all had great, SAFE fun last night! I want YOU to know, yes you, even you with the eye boogers at 1pm... every single one of you, that take the time to read my blog, comment on pictures, send me encouraging words... Whatever. I. Am. Grateful. 2013 was a very trying year. I don't want to go into great detail of the happenings so I'll just say that it was trying. I saw a version of myself that I never want to see again. With hard prayer and support from my amazing family and friends I made it through and stepped into a light that I never want to see dim again. 

Although last year had it's not so great moments, I am still able to focus on the good and glories that 2013 did bring..

Here are my top 5 moments of 2013!

1. Kensington Jupiter!

My Niece who I love so much. From the moment I saw her shimmy down the human slide, I was overwhelmed with joy and the deepest love. She is truly a gift. 

2. My Blog

I decided to do something that was for me. Something that made me happy and allowed me to pour my loopy brain onto a public forum where like minds and others could CHOOSE to read and learn things. Even if only one person reads my posts, I'm grateful. 

3. Losing 50 lbs

I didn't lose the total 50 lbs in 2013, maybe... 35. The rest was loss in the previous year. Changing my "diet" was one of the best decisions I've made for my body. Don't get me wrong, I still love and indulge in hot fries and dairy, they just don't love me.

4. A New Job

I started a new job that I don't hate. Lol, seriously... While I was hunting all I prayed for was stability and peace in whatever I found. My co-workers are great and the environment is welcoming and growth is always an option.

5. My Family

Sure, I've been with them for 26 years thus far but last year really brought us together. After losing our grandparents, dealing with personal struggles and typical family strife... We made it through and love each other even more from it.

If it hasn't already been implied enough, let me say that I love you guys! I pray that this new year brings you all the clarity, love and joy possible. Be your own light. Start your own path. LIVE! Get you some self love in your life and GO OFF!! Take care and be royal!

Peace & Hand Sanitizer,

Kelly XOXO
