A Year of Growth



I’m very sad today because yesterday I had to walk away from something that has been extremely important to me for the past 3 years. I have a lot going on in my life and as important as this was too me, it was somewhat interfering with another important thing in my life and so I had to make a very difficult decision. It was a crossroad – we all come to them from time to time. I didn’t want to make the decision, it was heart wrenching, but it was unavoidable. Sometimes we have to give up something good to get something even better. I will always remember 2014 as a year of growth.    

But in looking forward to 2015 – I have high expectations with a lot of coals in the fire. While my past has been filled with so much effort and very little reward. That’s all going to start changing in 2015.  Meanwhile,
