Sharon and I out on New's Years Eve having a great time with all our friends. It felt great to get out and celebrate 2008 being part of the past and aew better year starting!
I am in the mood to look back on the past year and I must say, 2008 will go down as one of the most tumultuous years of my life. It was an emotional and financial struggle that I thought would be the death of me. It was full of extreme highs and extreme lows. So many life-altering events,ot only for us, but for so many of our friends. We watched so many people struggle through. It was an awful year when I look back on it, however I wouldot erase it if I had the chance. I would change events, butot erase them. It left me with the unanswered question of “why?” 2008 shook the foundation of my soul. Being blessed with the joy of having a baby, to having it taken away will haunt me forever. I don’t think I will ever shake the feeling of being cheated somehow.
One bright spot was that 2008 was a breakout year for my One Shoe Diaries project, it got so much media attention and it brought us a lot of pride and connected us with so many people we would haveever met. We are still desperate to find a publisher, but if we don’t it willot be the end of the world. We are still proud of the project.
So here is to 2009 ushering in aew season of prosperity and good fortune to everyone! May the world actually be a better place this timeext year!! Happy New Year to all!
