Happy New Year, friends! This visit back home is flying by and Canada has spoiled me with my favourite people and beautiful winter wonderlands. Exactly what I wanted for the holidays.

I’m not really one for resolutions — I like setting goals but that happens sporadically.  To be honest, my new year’s resolutions haven’t changed much since 2002. But as I mulled over my seemingly endless amount of potential resolutions this morning, this quote popped into my head and made me smile.

It sounds cliché, but I think this is what I am adopting as my mantra for 2013.  A nervous traveler I may be (sometimes!), and a self-described homebody for sure — but this is my goal:  wholeheartedly, optimistically, adventurously, and kindly, enjoy 2013. I hope you do, too. Peace and love!
