Lessons Learned in 2013

I absolutely love the start of every year. It's silly really, I know. It's just a date, Tiffany. But that date always represents something bigger to me. A new beginning. A fresh start. There's something magical about it. But, before I can move forward with 2014 (which I truly believe will be the best year of my life) I must look back at 2013...

Lessons I have learned in 2013:

  The only person that controls my happiness is ME. 

Don't sweat the small stuff. Life is far, far too short my friends. Three losses in a year's time and you really start to put things into prospective.

Love doesn't always come easily. There are going to be struggles and sometimes it's going to take work. But, if it's important to you... you will find a way.

Raising a two year old little boy (ahem lion..) is one of the hardest, yet most rewarding blessings. I fall more in love with this little boy every day and he continues to teach me far more than I will ever teach him.

It's okay to not be perfect. It's okay to make mistakes. Learn from them and move forward.

Making healthy choices makes each day a little bit better. 

There are so many amazing things just outside your comfort zone. Step out and discover them. 

The mountains are my happiest place; where I feel in my "element." This is something I had known most my life, but had lost sight of.

That sometimes, you really can have too much of a good thing. Even in the health department... 

over training, anyone?

To always, always follow my heart and put family first. 

BUT, never lose yourself in the process... 

So, here's to a wonderful 2013 and even brighter 2014!

Happy New Year, everyone!!
