The view from Mt. Helix
San Diego CA, fall 2011
Dear readers,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, for making this year a very special one for me. I know that 2011 has been incredibly difficult for so many of us, and the fact that you've chosen to spend even just a minute or two visiting this blog, sharing valuable information, insights, thoughts and opinions means the world to me.
I'd like to personally thank everyone who has ever taken a moment out of their day to email me, send me a tweet, leave me a Facebook comment or comment on this blog. Without your input, this blog would be NOTHING, and I mean that more than I could ever express to you in this letter. I may not always respond to every message I receive, and I'd like to take this opportunity to personally apologize if you have ever reached out and not received a reply from me. I never anticipated when I started this blog that I would sometimes receive more information than I can process in any given day, and believe me--I am NOT complaining about that. I just want to explain that I am one person with a life outside of blogging and sometimes I can't respond to everything that comes my way. I do my best, but please believe me when I say that I realize that sometimes my best falls short. Just know that I do read everything that comes my way, and I am filled with nothing but the best intentions.
So with that, I want to let you know that I would like for 2012 to be all about showing my gratitude to you. For everything that YOU do to make this blog the resource it has become for some many of us, I am going to fill next year with fun giveaways and some special little surprises that will, hopefully, make up for my shortcomings and express to each and every one of you how much I truly value you as readers and, most importantly, as friends.
I hope that, however you spend tomorrow, you have a peaceful day full of laughter, love and lots of promise for the new year.
All of my love,
G. xo
PS: I'm not done blogging today! I have a few surprises coming up that I know will put a smile on your face.
Very well said! Happy Holidays, G! xx
