In order to embrace the new, we must release the old.
I want you (and me) to reflect upon what you did, how you felt, what you liked, what you didn't and what you learned.
This is my Blogging Meme to you, (and the last of the year for me :)

Hi Carol,
Thanks for your brave post and thanks for tagging all of us.
I am certain that many of us Blue Ribbon Bloggers will pick up on your tag.
It seems you have had "quite a year"! Good to see all your decisions (well, almost all of them ;) resulted in your gaining more self-confidence.
May the next year carry the fruits of the steps you have taken this year!
