Leaving home is always bittersweet after the holidays, but today I’ll pack my things and this evening I head back to New York. But the start of a new year means new experiences & opportunities and for those, I could not be more excited. I’ve got my mind on resolving to work out more, do a juice cleanse for the first time, explore new parts of the city, take more photos, learn my new neighborhood front and back and soak up every wonderful moment along the year.

I hope you all had a beautiful New Year’s Eve and a wonderful holiday season. How did you celebrate?

As 2011 comes to a close I can’t help but feel incredibly grateful for the experiences WIT & Whimsy has allowed me and more importantly, for the friendships it has brought me. Each and every day I feel blessed to have readers like you and want to say a huge THANK YOU for visiting, commenting, tweeting, sharing and more. You all are the reason I blog and I couldn’t be happier for the place w&w is in today. P.S. WIT & Whimsy turned 5 (!!!) on December 29th. Can you believe it?!
