I haven’t posted in months. My bad. We have had lots going on since we returned from Disney in August. I will get all of that in my next post.

With my snazzy new BLOG make over my plan is to start posting more regularly.

First and foremost I want to wish any of my friends who take the time to read this post a very Happy New Year. I wish you nothing but the best for 2012.

We had a fabulous Christmas season and the New Year brought us waiting for China officially 5-years. When we started our paperwork some 7-years ago we wouldn’t have dreamed we would wait so long. We have ups and downs around the subject but when push comes to shove we are in for the long, long, haul.

I don’t make new year resolutions. But, for many years I have started the year with a word. I try to improve myself every year with the word in mind especially around my personal relationships and also my own needs. I meditate daily and part of my meditation includes my word. I advise all of the people I work with to do the same with hopes that it will help their lives as much as it does mine. Each year I order a bracelet with my word and I wear it all year long as a reminder.

I had two words in mind this year! One was humility and the other was patience. With the 5-year anniversary I thought I would celebrate with PATIENCE!

So for the 2012 I am hoping to become more patient with the  people I love the most, with myself and the world around me. All of  these deserve nothing less than my very best.
