Falling in Love

Hi! It's been awhile, I know. Happy New Year's Eve! I know people have mixed feelings about making new year's resolutions, but I've always been a fan. It just feels like a good time to set goals alongside a bunch of other people motivated to start fresh and better themselves in the coming year.
While I would like to say that one of my planned resolutions is to blog more consistently, I don't think I'm realistically ready for that kind of a commitment. What I do know is that I want to prioritize what's important to me this coming year - the things that bring life to myself and those around me - and keep working on those things. Are outfit posts a part of that? Maybe. But I also know there are deeper things I hope to accomplish through this space and I'm excited to pursue those intentionally in the months to come. So stay tuned ;)
Along the lines of resolutions and reflecting on the past year, I want to say something about falling in love. If you were to ask me on the eve of every Jan 1st what my hopes and dreams are for the coming year, I would most likely include "falling in love" in my response, whether I say it verbally, or just silently wish it in my heart. I would be referring to romantic love. The kind that sweeps you off your feet and makes hearts beam from your eyes. This year I learned something really important about falling in love, firsthand. Because I fell in love more times and more days than I can count. But it wasn't with a boy. It was with my friends who light up my life every day. It was with my family who makes my heart want to burst at the seams. It was with my home and this island and the sunsets I get to watch at the end of my street. I have felt more joy this year than ever before. God has shown me that falling in love is not reserved for one relationship. And how much better it is to fall in love with every aspect of your life, including my relationship with Him. So it's with much gratitude I'm able to say I'm ending this year with an overflowing heart rather than a heart left longing for a hope unfulfilled. I share this in hopes of re-defining your definition of love if you are similar to me, and pray that you fall head over heels in love with the life you have been given, just as it is.
Happy New Year sweet friends, I can't wait to see what 2014 holds for us.
