Goodbye 2011...
Hello Twenty-Twelve!
Last year {two days ago} we worked hard, played hard, loved, grieved, laughed lots and shed tears.
Last year we found out we can make all the pretty things we want and none of it is as important as the friends we see every day. Our lives are so much better because we have friends we love and who love us right back.
Last year we learned what true loss is. We found out how the loss of a parent leaves a hole that nothing seems to fill. Lisa grieves for her mother. I grieve for her. I know this year has been so filled with things she could not have begun to expect but as always Lisa has always looked for the best in every situation. I only pray that this year she will have peace and joy in every day.
Last year we chose to be grateful, courageous, open, silly, funny, honest and much more. This year we are going to be more of the same.
Last year Lisa helped be become a bit more organized. This year we are already ahead of schedule on workshops and that is almost entirely because Lisa's lessons are paying off!
Starting Saturday January 7th we have our workshops scheduled and ready for January and half of February.
