New Year. New Beginnings.

So it's that time again. The New Year always brings about promise of change to your bank account, bad habits, and donut consumption, you know... the usual.

And while often times we begin the year by thinking about all things we would like to change, I want to celebrate the fact that I have accomplished so much in this year.

I will be graduating this semester and feel the burden of getting a career going, much the same as most freshly graduated seniors. However I am determined to take this year to fantastic heights.

My New Year's resolutions in the past looked something like the following:
Lose weight
Save more money
Lose weight
Start a blog (check!)

Stop spending money
Lose weight

Something to that effect and I would feel guilty that another year rolled by without a pound lost or no money saved and nothing to show for the money spent.

This year? I am going to change things around, my (new) New Year's resolutions are:

Give myself grace. room to grow. learn. 
take risks. love more. worry less.

I am very excited that the last year I was able to lose 30 lbs and can graduate with a 3.5 (despite a horrible gpa from LSU) all the while having 3 jobs and working on a thesis.

It's been a growing pains sort of year for me, but so worth it. 2014 is my year.
