here<\/a>) Unfortunately I seem to be perpetually hungry for the next book. Maybe I will be a better reader in 2015.<\/p>\nI wrote. I challenged myself and am still figuring out my inspirations and motivations. But I am glad I wrote. I should just write more. And a little beyond that. My writings traveled beyond Poohsden and I hope it is a journey that continues.<\/p>\n
I worked hard to get over my insane fear of water. Now I can step into a pool and actually not freak out. I am no way comfortable in water but I am getting there.<\/p>\n
The blog kept me sane and rooted. I kept my vows and made sure I had posts scheduled. I tried some new stuff on my blog – collaborations, working with authors and brands. I don’t have strong opinions on either of them. I think I will follow my instinct and be part of anything that catches my fancy.<\/p>\n
The family drove me crazy and kept me sane. Yes, like always. \u00a0I think I grew up more than I expected to this year.<\/p>\n
I am discovering new lands as a parent. It scares me. I am sure the fear will continue well into 2015 and beyond.<\/p>\n
I made new friends and spent time with old ones. I realised I need the support of friends more than ever. I hope to be a better friend in 2015.<\/p>\n
I explored Australia – not as much as I would have liked to but enough to make me happy. What a beautiful country! Everyone should spend a couple of months here. I hope I will have a chance to visit this place again.<\/p>\n
I battled allergies and lost. I refused to panic at the sight of a lump on my breast (which turned out to be some infection and nothing serious).<\/p>\n

Goodbye 2014<\/p><\/div>\n
