new year, hello 2014

2013 was both my year & also not my year. a lot of change happened. i get it now when people say change is scary. it really is. taking that leap into the unknown? knowing that you will stumble, fall, make mistakes? yikes! but then realizing you get to learn, grow & become a better person out of it makes it all worth it.

i must admit, i am happy to have 2013 done & over with. there is nothing like a new blank slate & a fresh start.  sure everyday you get the opportunity to start over again.  one of my favorite quotes from anne of green gables is: "isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?" but then again there is something symbolic about a new year to inspire new changes. i love resolutions. 

here are a few of my 2014 wants & wishes. i've started journal-ing again & have a longer list (some things ya just got to keep private, you know?) but here are a few i wanted to share.  what are your resolutions?  do you even believe in having them?  how do you stay focused? what is your mindset when it comes to a new year?
