. . . the first week of this new year has already been a spectacular flurry of activity, beginning with a new tiffany blue & gold-leafed daybook waiting to be filled, and on the eve of new year's day, a meeting in a hotel lobby amidst the still twinkling post-holiday fairy lights, to plot and to plan and to dream, and there is so much to tell you, including, currently, two enormously exciting projects in the works, a wedding in paris in june, and still to come, the grandest adventure of all, that may just change everything -- and so, it is wild anticipation that we begin the second week of this new year . . .
. . . and the year still feels so new, one can not help but look back, [just a little], and with ever so much fondness, and a bittersweet nostalgia, at the last, and so, with plain disregard to numbers & figures, a few favourites from the past year . . .
. . . and on a tuesday that feels like a monday, a collection of beautiful things: the top twelve most popular posts, one for each month, of the year we leave behind . . .
