A Lovely New Year's Sentiment: Magic, Dreams, and Good Madness

 

May you meet all of your goals in the upcoming year, and may all of your dreams come true. Dare to dream, and see where your heart takes you. And, most importantly, surprise yourself. We often limit ourselves, reduce ourselves to timidity when, in reality, we are perfectly capable of having our aspirations become our reality. The truth is the story we tell ourselves. It's the background noise amidst our daily comings and goings. Sure, we all want to bend to the pressure, but if we remain calm and confident, we'll make it through. We'll find something bright and beautiful - a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Farewell, December!

Oh, what a month - and a year - it has been! I turned 18. I got into my top-choice college. And I had many laughs with my friends, of course! So, here are some photos from the past few months, to commemorate the transition from childhood to adult, from fall to winter, and from this year into the next. Here's to 2012.

Holly Golightly for Halloween!
I saw Mandy Patinkin and Patti Lupone on Broadway and had tea at the Plaza to celebrate a friend's birthday!
My birthday dessert...the main course was Japanese!
Rockefeller tree during the day...went back to the city for a French trip!
Hanukkah with friends!
Had a photo shoot at a local park!
