all the possibilities


2013 has been one hell of a year. It's a year ending in a three, and that's exactly how it feels: like an ending. 

The completion of a trifecta of years that have taken me through hell and fire, landing in a place still smoldering. 

This year there have been highs and lows and moments of sheer bewilderment as life unfolded and changed in slow motion paralysis that was over in a blink of an eye.

2013 taught me humility as I embraced my word ease, finding the ability within myself to confront and accept my downfalls and shortcomings for what they are. 

I've found self-reliance and self-confidence when I was certain I had none, and I found the strength to let go of shit that I cannot fix and I'm pretty sure I don't even want to if I could. 

2013 has brought my wee family of three stronger and closer. We've talked often of what these last few years have looked like, and despite it all, moving to California was a really good thing.

We're happy here and we're not talking every other day about our exit plan back to Manhattan. It's a good thing.

And 4 more good things from this year:

  1. Favorite movie: Frances Ha
  2. Favorite book:  The Goldfinch
  3. Favorite music: Arctic Monkeys | Alt J | Savages
  4. Favorite live music: Haim, Austin City Limits
