Fairy Girl

2011 was a roller coaster ride, with so many ups and downs.

As I start typing this post I wonder if I will have more highs than lows.

I’m certainly hoping so.

Financially, it was very challenging. As our business started to grow so did our expenses. Cash flow is no joke.

The opening of our two franchised stores was definitely one of my highlights.

Losing a few kilograms made me feel good, but I am nowhere near my goal weight. It is definitely on top of my priority list for 2012.

Joshua received an award for mathematics and I am soo proud of him. I’d love to take the credit but I’m no maths boff .

Ending a friendship with one of my closest and dearest friends, was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.

Attending my friend Hilary’s wedding was my happiest and most memorable celebration.

Watching a friend of mine say goodbye to her 13 year old son (hit and run), was definitely one of the saddest days for me.

Having my sister move back to Jo’burg has been awesome.

Dealing with PTS and PND has been quite the challenge but I managed it well.

Letting go of past relationships that were manipulative and abusive set me free.

Learning to set boundaries has got to be the best thing I did in 2011. A lot of people have not coped well with the change, but it all honesty it wasn’t about them but about me.

Not spending enough time with my hubby really saddened me. I’ve been so focused on Tranquil Body Treats that I’ve neglected him and my children. This is something that will change in 2012.

I never put my all into our salon and spa range but I’ll be starting with a BANG in 2012.

Making new friends (twitter) has been awesome!

Reuniting with two of my friends (Misch and Linkie) has been wonderful.

One of the most difficult decisions I made, was to have the endometrial  ablation. This meant no more babies for hubby and I.

Experiencing spinal fluid leakage, was the most painful experience ever, I thought I was going to die.

Looking back, I guess 2011 was not all that bad but I’m glad its over and I am so looking forward to 2012.

I feel it in my toes that 2012 is going to be a year of love, happiness, laughter and peace.
