I delight in 2012.

At the beginning of this year, I had no idea what or where the end of this year would bring me. This time last year I was still in graduate school, just starting externships and applying for jobs working with adults in different states!  All I knew and hoped is that this year would bring me to where I was supposed to be. What a broad hope!  I'm so blessed it has become actualized in a fantastic way. Different and better than I ever could have thought.
