Goodbye 2012...Hello 2013!

Can't believe its been one year.  One year ago today my mother and I received one of the worst phone calls that forever changed our lives.  Time truly goes by so quickly.  Its crazy that last year all we kept thinking is "how are we going to get through this and how will Hamid's family go on without him".  At the time you think, it will never end, but gradually life goes by.

It's been a tough year, probably one of the toughest of my life. It started with a loss and it seems that things just didn't get any easier.  2012 was a test for me, it was test to see how dedicated I am to what I am doing and how much I am willing to try.  Last year today, I thought to myself that this was the time to walk away and give up.  It took it as a sign that things are not meant to be.  But in the pit of my heart there was still this want and this knowledge that I am suppose to continue...so I did.

I have learn one of the greatest lessons of my life this past year, I learned that if you truly believe and love what you do, that nothing can stop you.  I know I am a fighter, but I just never realized how much I am willing to fight.  Although 2012 had it's ups and downs and I am happy to say goodbye and welcome the new year, it is a year I will never forget.

Now 2013, I have high hopes for and I am so excited to welcome the new year. I feel like this is the year and I am ready for it!  My resolutions for this year are to see my company begin to succeed and continue to grow.  I am determined to see Born products selling in a store somewhere in the world.  I promise to run my 2nd marathon, but only if I do it with Team in Training and sponsor a child with cancer.  On a more personal level, I am going to try and get out and meet more people...especially males.  I have been dedicated to my work, but now I feel like I can handle both.  I want to cross another item off on my bucket list! And lastly, I would love to be able to do something special for my parents...not sure exactly what that is yet, but something big if I can.

Here's to a great 2013!!!
