2008 was a pivotal year for me in many ways. I traveled, extensively, was spontaneous and became more comfortable and confident with my intellectual, emotional and spiritual self. This progress wouldn’t have been possible without me jumping head first into things that a year ago would have been unthinkable.

I am not perfect, and I have a long way to go, but I think that I can be proud of what I have accomplished, and hopefully I can look to it for inspiration in the future.
