I would say it was a most beautiful year
full of hope and promise,
growth and experiences.
I lived my life with Intention,
which was my word for 2014 ...
it was the perfect word for me.
I look forward to 2015
and all that it has to offer!
My new word is Positivity ...
another word I plan to live up to its potential.

As our 2014 draws to a close today ...
I hope you will take the time to recall
all this life brought you ... it's fun to just remember.
I wish you blessings in your new year,
love, health, well being and creativity.
Be good to yourself and those around you!
May it be a year of self growth!
May it be peaceful and full of contentment.
Let's walk this life together ... shall we?
