So the New Year has begun ... 2013. A fresh start. The feeling of renewal, rejuvenation, cleansing. New goals, new ideas.
We don't know what the new year will hold ... only God knows ... what can and will take place. He knows what we will experience, what adventures we will embark on. And in that, we have hope ...

My hope for the New Year is in relationships.
    To be the wife that loves and supports, that laughs and cries with. To start our days together in the quiet of the morning, sipping coffee, talking, reading. For our marriage to grow, to be deeper, richer, fuller ...

    To be the mother my children need me to be. A mother that sets examples and boundaries. A mother that loves, comforts and supports. A mother that plays and lets them know that it's okay to be goofy. To teach them about responsibility and the fun in being spontaneous ...

     I want to be the daughter, sister, friend and neighbor that gives of myself. That puts others first ... invest in them and moments together. To support, encourage ...

     For my business to expand, taken to an all new level. Exactly what, I do not know ... but in a way that is good and right. So my photography is a blessing for others. I am thankful for January as it is my slow time. It's a time to sort of snuggle in, go slow, breathe, think, create.

     I desire to read more ...
     I want to run more ...
     I desire to cook ...
     I want to laugh ...
     I desire to be surrounded by our family and friends ...
     I want quiet moments at home ...
     I desire to live every moment to its fullest ...
     I desire a peaceful community ...

Dream. Hope. Aspire. Inspire.

My prayer for this New Year.
Happy New Year ...
