2015 was a year of finding balance – happiness through the challenges, laughter despite the tears and getting wrinkles because of smiles (even if it started with stress). No doubt finding balance came with its pretty funny (and not so funny) moments, but indeed it was something that brought on peace as I watched the fireworks on a lawn by the beach last night.

2016 will be a year of happiness and wonder. It will be about trusting the universe, knowing and believing that we are exactly where we are supposed to be at any given moment, at any given time – like catching the sun peek through the mountains as you open your eyes.

May 2016 be as beautiful as the first light for all of you. Go catch the sun!

Note: This post is my first splash of color! In the spirit of 2016 as a year of wonder, I needed to show the beautiful miracle of the First Light in its breathtaking colors.
