End of a year...Good-Bye 2010, HELLO 2011!!!

It's here.
It's official.
We have all survived another year.


This is the last day AND the last blog post of 2010. The next time I wake up, the next time I'm typing my blog post it will be "2011 - The best year ever". Mark my words people, I know this for a fact. I can feel it in my bones:-))


2010 may have been the worst and best year of my entire life all wrapped up into one perfect little package of life lessons and self growth.  A year of extreme lows combined with extreme highs and a few thousand other emotions and experiences in between.  There were days I thanked my lucky stars and grinned from ear to ear, followed by days that I practically cried myself to sleep and thought it was truly possible to cry myself to death.  But through all of it I grew and I grew and I GREW as a woman, as a daughter, as a sister, as a friend and most importantly as a MAMA and I learned more about myself this past year than I ever did in the 33 years prior to that combined.

I learned what defines true success. Love.

I learned what makes the difference between a house and a home. Love.

I learned what truly matters in a child's eyes. Love.

I learned what defines a true, unconditional friendship. Love.
I learned humility. Love.

I learned who and what matters in my life and why. Love.

I learned the true definition of "integrity". Love.

I learned how to truly smile and be happy. Love.
I learned faith. Love.

I learned how to properly hurt and heal. Love.
I learned patience. Love.

I learned how and what creates laughter. Love.

I learned why life is worth taking risks. Love.

I learned acceptance. Love.

I learned FORGIVENESS. Love.

I am so grateful for the change, growth, experience, love and wisdom that 2010 brought both me and my beautiful little Bellabean.  I am POSITIVE that 2011 will be the best year ever and "2010" will merely be a brief reflection and reference point of just how great a year 2011 and the rest of the years to follow really are.


I feel overwhelmed with gratitude and love for my amazing, beautiful, loving and independent almost 3 year old little big girl.  She is FULL of personality and love and fire...and she is my walking, living proof that every little thing happens for a reason.  

Good-bye 2010 and all that you have taught us. HELLO 2011 we can't wait to see what you have in store for us. BRING IT!!!

Lots of love,

Jessy & Bellabean
