It's 2012...a new year, a new start

[source]

Welcome 2012.  I have big dreams and high hopes and a laundry list of resolutions for this new year.

As I am sure you are aware, I gave up blogging not long after I started.  I have been on the fence about whether or not to start again and if so, if I could stay committed.  I am going to give it one last go.  I really enjoy it but I also know that writing is not one of my strengths.  English was my least favorite subject in school so I guess I am little bit intimated.  Some bloggers I follow just have a way with words.  I am amazed me when I read their posts.

This go around is going to be more authentic, not that I wasn't in my previous efforts, but I was always focused trying to sound intelligent, fluent, and on top of my game...if that makes any sense.  It would take me several hours to write a post, which is likely the reason I gave up.

With all that being said, I am looking forward to giving it another try.  I am excited to share some of the most important things in my life--my menagerie of dogs and cats, my travels, my new business venture, recipes and life goals.

So welcome back.  Hello 2012!
