Thank you for being one of my Top 5 commenters in 2012, Toby.
Today may there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.
May you use the gifts that you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
Sending you every good wish for 2013. Thank you for all your encouragement and support during the past year. May all your hopes and dreams have wings.
