2011 was a busy year for family, personal restoration and business.
I have done so much yet feel as if I have done nothing. I hope you can relate.

In 2012 many of us will make New Year's resolutions. I, however; will not.
All I can do in 2012 is to remind myself to do my best.
Some days my best will compare to the sun's brilliance,
other days my best may look suspiciously close to a pile of crap.
No matter which my best turns out to be on that particular day or task,
the sun's brilliance or a pile of crap,
I know each plays a part in creating beautiful things in and around me.

My 2012 wish for you:
Celebrate your sun's brilliance and those piles of crap for each will create beauty in and all around you.

Just a little somehting to remind each of us we are important enough to take care of ourselves first and foremost.

Can you believe it?! Susan over at My2Boyz has bestowed upon me the "Kick Ass Blog" award! I know it's late for some of you so I repeat ... Kick Ass people, not Kiss Ass.
I know ~ crazy right!

So I high tailed it over to read the specifics and found the definition of a Kick Ass Blog:

Maybe they've got incredible, original content. Or they're overflowing with creativity. Is it someone that helps you become a better blogger? Or a bloggy friend you know you can count on? Or maybe it's someone who simply inspires you to be a better person... or someone else who sends you to the floor, laughing your ass off.
