Saying goodbye to 2011.
A year which had its share of ups and downs,there was so much I was thankful for and so much I am thankful is over. A year in which I learned so much, some were really difficult lessons yet some were a joy to learn. I grew some,I won some, I lost some, I cried some and laughed some but the thing that I will always remember 2011 for is the fact that it was the year I started my blog in.
I have met so many amazing people, learned so much, challenged myself to do more, make time for me and for something I love and enjoy and that is something I am and will always be proud of.
Thank you for taking the time to share this journey with me, whether you are a fellow blogger who has inspired me,encouraged me or taught me something new.A wonderful reader who leaves me a comment, or reads silently I want you to know I appreciate every comment and every visit more than I can find words to express.Even if you are someone who is here for the first time. Thank you so much for sharing some of your time with me and I hope you found something you liked and this will be your first but not your last stop at chef in disguise.
