The closing moments of 2011

Suddenly its the final hours of 2011, so I'd better finish the year up with some reflections.

A perfect end to 2011...sharing Moet with a wonderful friend

What an amazing year I have had, I've heard lots of people saying how glad they are that the year is ending having been through lots of crappy times- but I have been so incredibly lucky, I feel like I am ending the year on a high.
I've been thinking a lot today about some of my highlights of the year...

• Deciding in February to become fit and healthy
• Brisbane trip with Nat & Tatum
• Becoming the very best of friends with my little sister...she totally rocks <3
• Melbourne trip with Tatum for Blogopolis
• Getting all distinctions at Uni
• Visiting Sydney for the very first time
• Going back to Sydney in December
• Escape2Create retreat
• Losing 40 kilos
• Buying clothes from a 'real' shop...not "plus sized" fashion
• Ending toxic relationships & spending time with people that make me happy
• Melbourne weekend with the College girls
• Loving exercise and the challenges it gives me
• Building new amazing friendships
• Learning that I am not invincible and need to look after my mental health too
• Embracing red lipstick and short hair
