ending a beginning

as 2012 winds down, i feel like i have the space to breath and reflect.  this year has definitely tested me in so many ways.  i have had to grow in my leadership at work, tested my balancing of life/work, my relationship has grown stronger through struggle, and i have lived as myself.  it has definitely been one for the books.

my love of myself and for my family, both blood and chosen, has grown leaps and bounds.  standing up for myself and asserting myself has been difficult, stressful and fulfilling.  as i close out this year, i have come out to my parents as trans, proposed to the love of my life, and feel love for myself.  what more could i ask for?

looking forward, i want to continue along my path and along the way have grand adventures.  this next year will be a traveling year.  i want to leave the country at least once for a nice vacation.  i want to get back to doing more artsy things.  i want to have grand adventures in the kitchen.  i want to keep looking forward and looking back only if it serves my moving forward to building a family, buying a home, and having a wonderful life.  here's to 2013 and all the wonder it will bring.
