December has been quite a month, and 2011 has been quite an amazing year. I've been thinking about what to say with regards to my trip to New York and really only one word sums it up, vindicating. 


This year I've freed myself from so much, and my last trip to New York only proved to me that there are some people who will never change, who live their lives aimlessly causing destruction to people around them and to themselves. Hindsight for me, they're no longer my problem concern. 2011 has been a year of the most amazing healing- a healing that I {in 2010} never thought was possible. It's been a year of meeting the most incredible people who have enriched my life, who've challenged me, encouraged me and supported me through everything 2011 had to have me go through. Friends who were there through the highest highs, and the lowest lows. 


2011 I became free, free from a marriage that sadly had to end, free from my own insecurities, free from judgement- of myself and from others. This year I turned 30 {gracefully}, pushed myself mentally, ran two 5k's, traveled around North America and throughout it all continued my growth with God.  I'm grateful daily for the trials that I've had to go through, the humbleness that God's given me, and equally his grace and the blessings throughout this year- blessings that I never imagined would be possible, but so much better than I could have chosen for myself.
