Another year is here and I am excited! 2011 was a year of growth and learning for me and I want to continue on that path in 2012. I learned about my listening abilities, strength in times of adversity, better reasoning skills (still working on this), realized I have a very low tolerance level for certain things and I will say I definitely grew in my relationships with my loved ones especially my boyfriend. He has taught me so much about myself.

2011 was a year of ups and downs with my mom and dad's health. It was challenging but through all the half days/off days at work, I am happy they are both here with me for another New Year. This was my family's first whole year without my little cousin Sam, who died unexpectedly last year. It was a trying time but on the anniversary of his death, I did not cry but I celebrated his life. Thanking God for my aunt and uncle who have been pillars of strength during this time.
Here's a pic of my mom, dad, aunt and uncle before my dad's illness and before my cousin died. I am named after my aunt Kathy who is hugging my mom and dad.

In 2011, I also learned and grew a lot in my Sorority, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. I am looking forward to continuing my humble service to this great Sisterhood in 2012.
