Oh, 2012. You were a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater. It wasn’t the easiest or prettiest year by any means but I like to think that the past 365 days are concluding as a victory for me.
- Closed Never Niche (former blog), opened Clare, You There?
- The beginning chapter of my sobriety.
- Began volunteering at the horse rescue once a week.
- Traveled to NYC (twice), Seattle, Petoskey, Boston (twice), Austin, Chicago, and Durango. (Not in this order.)
- Paid off all of my debt, four months ahead of schedule.
- Became a member of the Bar Method and attended classes at least four times a week, often more. It’s the first time I’ve been regularly active in my life, ever.
- Still loving my job.
In 2013, I want to travel internationally, double my personal net worth, stay active, write, write, write, and radiate positive energy to the point of no return.
Cheers.

Love this. Happy New Year, Clare!
I love YOU. Happy new year, Cait.
Maybe in 2014 we can travel internationally together. No way can I do it this year but I think it would be fun to travel with you.
That sounds like an adventure!
Happy New Year Clarebear <3
You too, Cat!
“and radiate positive energy to the point of no return.” I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. So I am copying.
Thanks, Katie! Feel free.
