                                         happy new year babies!

i was looking up my resolutions from this past year and i did pretty damn good.  the list i compiled on day one of 2013 was as follows:

this year i resolve to:
- learn spanish (check!)
- continue and go further on this path of health (check!)
- visit a country on my short list (check! check!)
- learn to surf for real (check!)
- *surrender 
- be present (check, mostly)
- continue a dedicated yoga practice (CHECK!)
- visit anbesa and frankie ray (fail.)
- have the most epic year of all time (CHECK CHECK CHECK!)

* surrender ~ ishwara pranidhana ~ surrender is the voluntary letting go of limited, personal desires for the sake of a greater and more fulfilling experience.

while i really hit it out of the park with most items, surrender is an ongoing challenge.  i'll put it on the list, this year and every year.  i'll check in next year on 2014.  i have a feeling it's gonna be another amazing one.
