Ready for a recap?

Did you ever write in a diary or journal? Do you remember the feeling you got when you would read your words and old memories would come flooding back? Well, as embarrassed as I am to say this, I just felt that way reading my old Twitter updates. Granted at one point I was tweeting more than one should, but maybe I didn’t. We all laugh and poke fun at Twitter, yet we still use it as a way to communicate to the world what exactly we are doing at that exact moment.

This year has been quite a turning point for me.  I’m happier, stronger and more resilient than ever. I’ve hit many milestones and about to embark on some major career moves in 2010. I will not and can not forget everything that got me to this point. And as many times as I say it, I’ll say it again… I almost didn’t make it. Scary writing that last sentence, but it’s the honest and brutal truth. 2008 was a very low point in my life, not the lowest, but one of the longest and toughest years I had to experience as an adult. Many long distance phone calls were made by my closest thing to a sister, Alex Lee Behan, pleading and begging me to not give up. To say that we cried a thousand tears would be an understatement.  She promised me if I could just hold on a little longer and have faith all of these terrible experiences would be a thing of the past. As I go through all my memories from 2009 I finally realize Alex’s promise held true. I’d like to share with you my pivotal year and proof that one should never give up.

I’ll be posting segments of this year spaced out over the last few days we have left of 2009. I hope you all enjoy this recap as much as I do. I’d like to thank all my family, friends and fans for all the support you’ve given me. But I’d like to extend my heart and gratitude to my Best Friend Alex Lee Behan. I love you so much. Without you none of this would’ve been possible.
