2013, you have allowed me to grow so much! Faith and Fearlessness work magically. Between starting a new business and building a personalized career, I am surprised my head hasn't fallen off yet. Despite the many opportunities that presented them self, I think the most impactful experience has been watching my baby nephew turn into a little man. If I ever need a reason to smile, I think about his first steps or the first time he said "Aunty"... It was his third word <3 He just turned one year old but you would think he's about 13.  Everyday he does something new and exciting which challenges me to do the same.

I would like to thank everyone who has shown me so much love and support along this journey of mine. It will not be in vain – I PROMISE.
For now, let us cheers to the New Year! I wish you all nothing but prosperity and joy.
