December 2011, you’ve been so good to me!  I’ve been to Boston, to SF, to Vegas, and I’ve seen Christmas in all these cities.  I spent each trip with lovely friends and I’m so grateful that this year has been rich with meeting new people and creating great friendships.  From visiting a childhood friend in Boston, to going to SF with international friends, to reuniting with my girls that I studied with in Italy in VEGAS, I’ve realized that this year has been the greatest gift ever.  I’m so grateful for the woman I’ve grown into this year, and I know for a fact that each person I’ve met played a big part in that.  

Although I always get a lump in my throat and get teary-eyed when I say goodbye to my friends, I know that I’ll have someone to visit everywhere in the world!  That thought brings a smile to my face.

Merry Christmas! & I hope that you think about all the people who have made your year and your life great!
