Tomorrow marks the very first day of 2011, and as we are all getting ready to celebrate, my mind reflects on 2010 and all that has happened. New friendships, fun trips, great projects, exciting news, new ventures, touching moments, and much, much more... and although 2010 was such a wonderful year, I have a suspicion that the new year will be even better than the last! And so, tonight we celebrate—I, inspired by Marie Antoinette, in a soft blush sequined dress and heels, will be celebrating with close family and friends, with multi-cultural food, including French, Italian and Spanish, beautiful drinks and heavenly desserts and treats... there will be a bow around Casey's neck, (puppy) perhaps balloons floating around the spaces, and special tea in pastel teacups with gold trim... I cannot wait! And lastly, as for resolutions, I remain true to myself and resolve to make a promise for others. This year, I will try to give more to the less fortunate. Perhaps not overly grand, but sometimes a simple gesture is just perfect... What do you have in store for tonight, and also, for the coming year?

ReplyDeleteDearest Sarah,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you as well!
Both of us have been all our lives active in fighting for the underdog. We lived and worked in Indonesia and got to know and see the problem of the leprosy. It exists since biblical times, yet the entire world seems to walk past it. Each year about half a million new cases are added and it is devastating as the victims become outcasts from society, even from their own families. Through the Rotary Club we've managed to bring back tens of thousands of dollars, that we hand delivered while living and working there. Now we have an Indonesian Rotary Club that works with us. As long as we live we will not give up on those who have no voice. The world is doing what seems to be political correct, like supporting Aids and that often is caused by a lifestyle. Leprosy is not because of lifestyle.
So I'm fully with you and your resolution. It might not be grand but think always about the ripple effect!
We are all so blessed...

ReplyDeleteHappy New Years, friend!
ReplyDeleteLoved the styling of Coppola's version of Marie Antoinette. Wish I could see first hand, the beautiful designs and culture during the Rococo era (sans the guillotine of course, lol)
happy 2011!
