Happy New Year!

It’s been a long time since I posted on my blog.  It’s been a rough couple of months in many ways, but I have a lot of optimism for 2012 and am looking forward to sharing it with friends, family, fellow writers, readers, and cat lovers (many of whom fall under friends and family already!).  Thank you for those of you who shared 2011 with me and helped make it a better year… and here’s to next year.  May it be a great one for all of us.
