Yes... yesterday was my 365th day in a row that I have blogged.
However... this was a Leap Year... therefore... tomorrow is my actual one year anniversary... or rather... One year ago tomorrow I set out on my journey.
So.. having today be my closing post is perfect. More on that at the end of my post.
Wow!! What an adventure!! So many times I have shared with you that I am gaining so much from this journey.
Reminding you again... that this was to be like a "handbook" of sorts on me for my children, family and friends; a memoir if you will... in hopes that my sharing my life would help another with their's.
I have had ups this year, as well as downs... but as I sit here and look back... this has been the best year I have given myself! For something that was meant for others... it has turned out to be such a HUGE part of my life.
I had literally cried with you... laughed with you... ached with you... and healed with you! ... now I would be lost without you... life just would not be the same.
Am I done?
I really don't think so! How can I be? My life isn't perfect by any means... but... writing this blog night after night... at first anxiously awaiting the moment I would sit with my lap top... then there were some nights that I actually forced myself to share [only because I was tired]... other nights where I actually struggled with my thoughts...
All in all... I would not trade my experience with anything!
So as I have anticipated this moment for a while... wondering how I was going to continue my blogging... if I was going to do a sequel to this blog or just continue on...
I have started other blogs... I have a health-lifestyle blog {My LifeStyle ReDesign}... and I also have my gratitude blog {Humble Gratitude}... and my website I created which all my creations can be found {Carla Barilá Karam}...
Will I keep my baby {this blog} going? I don't know? I almost want to keep going to see how long I can keep it up. After all, what harm can it pose?
I honestly do not have the answer right at this particular moment. But what I do know is that I am not going to stop blogging any time soon. BIG SMILE!

[here's to you finding your... ]
Peace...
Leap Year!... {I DID IT!!!... I can't believe it!...}
... for a, l & c. you are my sunshine(s).

Congrats on your first year blogging anniversary. You should definitely keep at it, if it makes you happy and fulfilled.
You have done something so few have and it sounds like you have gained so much from it. Congrats!
