Grow.. 2014

Well a new year is officially here. The words I will do it next year have landed into my lap. Although I didn't think I would be, I'm ready. I love that we get to "start over" each year. Like being cleansed and reset. Reflecting over the past year today, I am very thankful. So many milestones, accomplishments, and dreams becoming a reality. Life lessons, doors closed, aspects fading into the distance and more doors opening. My sweet little girl growing so beautifully into a person I could not even dream up. Many 1st steps for our angel will never ever be forgotten. 2013 was an eye opening year for this family. 2014 will be a year of growing. In every aspect of the word.. we will grow together and individually. Always for the greater good of us, our little family.

I will be feeding my soul to grow this year towards the woman I was made to be. Seeking more from God, I plan to learn to slow down and be silent for moments to appreciate the full beauty of my completely full life. Life experiences will chisel away the me from 2013 and form an improved me of 2014. There are always growing pains and I am very aware that those will slap me right off of my soul feeding adventure. But we are no strangers to adversity and I will let nothing stand in the way of what I want and need to accomplish this year. Lots of "must dos" you know the typical.. get back into shape, pay off debt. But so many many more significant resolutions have been written, boarded and visualized.

2014.. ready or not.. I have a feeling you are going to be the year I talk about down the road, as the year our lives were changed forever.
