I stumbled across this fabulous blog challenge and thought it would be a great way to look back on my year and see all I've done. It's been an amazing year for me so I am looking forward to doing this. If you are interested in doing this challenge please click on the photo above, it will take you directly to Gwen Bell's blog.
It started on Dec 1, so I am a few days behind but I am going to play catch up with this post.
December 1 Trip. What was your best trip in 2009?
My two week trip to England and France in October was best with Las Vegas and New York a close runner’s up.
December 2 Restaurant moment. Share the best restaurant experience you had this year. Who was there? What made it amazing? What taste stands out in your mind?
It’s a tie between a restaurant in Paris, France and a restaurant at Paris, Las Vegas. In May, I had a delightful French meal with my boyfriend at the Eiffel Tower restaurant in Las Vegas. It was so different because our seats faced each other and out the window so we could watch the Bellagio fountains at night. In Paris, after I got engaged at the Eiffel Tower I had my first meal with my fiancée at a small French restaurant on a quiet street off the Champs Elysees. Both were unforgettable.
December 3 Article. What's an article that you read that blew you away? That you shared with all your friends. That you Delicious'd and reference throughout the year.
What comes to mind is that story that was super popular this year of the two young men who raised a lion and once he was too big to handle they released it to a reservation in Africa. When they went back to see the lion years later he recognized them both with hugs and kisses. I have quite a soft spot for animals and it proved that love goes a long way and is not easily forgotten – one of the many reasons why I personally am a vegetarian.
December 4 Book. What book - fiction or non - touched you? Where were you when you read it? Have you bought and given away multiple copies?
Pema Chodren, Comfortable With Uncertainty. Everyone should own a copy. Pema speaks to your soul in simple and logical ways that just make sense. She holds amazing wisdom.
December 5 Night out. Did you have a night out with friends or a loved one that rocked your world? Who was there? What was the highlight of the night?
There's been so many of these this year but it had to be the night I got engaged at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It was just magic and I am so lucky to have met a wonderful man who would do all of that for me.
December 6 Workshop or conference. Was there a conference or workshop you attended that was especially beneficial? Where was it? What did you learn?
Sadie Nardini is a NY yoga teacher I was introduced to earlier this year. She wrote a book and accompanying workshop called Road Trip Guide to the Soul. She's very real and down to earth. Her book is very useful for someone who is trying to figure out which direction to take their life and follow their passion
December 7 Blog find of the year. That gem of a blog you can't believe you didn't know about until this year.
This is probably not the normal response but my blog find of the year was my own. I started writing this blog on wellness, yoga and everyday wisdom. I've been pleased with the positive response I have gotten with it so far and I am looking forward to growing it over the next year.
