Dear Readers,
I cannot believe we are at the end of 2014. I am stunned as to where the time went. Now while I have barely kept track of it all on this blog, I do have some thoughts to share and memories for the new year.

First let me start by saying how thankful I am for each every one of you, my friends. 2014 was a year of faith for me. I walked away from a safe path a definitely threw all caution to the wind and walked on the path that I knew, in my heart, was the one I needed to go down. From wearing many different hats as an employee and theater person, you all still had faith in me. You all supported me in my quest for wellness and new adventures, I cannot tell you how scared I used to be of the gym and being venerable in front of people. There is much to be thankful for!

I cannot express how much I love the theater company that opened their arms wide to me after one audition and the incredible feeling I have everyday I go into my normal job, put on a green apron and get to serve people their coffee.
I am thankful for the friends I've met this year and the ones who have crossed paths back into my life. It was a year of weddings, classy dinners, late night Netflix binge sessions and stargazing all summer. It has been so refreshing to meet new people and understand other views on life, the arts and the most recent installment of the Hunger Games.
Today people are looking back at the past and are excited for the future. The future is always bright, no matter how 2014 has been for you there are obviously things that we can be thankful for as we look back on the last 365 days of life. You probably have some resolutions and thoughts about who you want become in the next year, where you'd like to go and accomplish. Do those things apologetically.
In closing let me share with you my heart for 2015:

"I want to be a genuine person, someone who always has an ear to hear and a hear to speak. I want to be the best version of myself for others so that when someone wants to spend time with me, talk to me or drink coffee with me, I am only pouring goodness into their life. I wish to have holistic excellence in the new year and that God will continue to work through me and make me a light in my sphere of influence."
I penned that thought the other night in my journal. It is in no way to say look at me but to say instead of setting these ridiculous goals of going to the gym 7 days a week, starting a vegan diet or hiking the entire Appalachian Trail lets make sure we're taking care of those around us and being intentional with the time we share with them.
Thank you friends for a wonderful year! I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for all of us!
Until next time. I share with you some more of my favorite memories.
