A potful of wishes for 2013






Dear friends...

If I could fill this pot with all the words 
I want to wish you for this new year...
it just wouldn't be big enough.

So I will say..

On this last day of 2012, 
to my Aussie and Kiwi family and friends 
who are a few hours away 
from rolling in the new year, 
to my European friends 
who are in the midst of the day, 
to my American friends and family 
who are in the wee hours of the morning
 and to all of you in between..
from sea to sea, from shore to shore.

I send you my very best wishes 
for the happiest of new years.
May you find creative spontaneity 
in all  the days to come.
May you be surrounded by the people 
you hold dear to your heart.

May joy and laughter fill your life..


and on those days
when you are feeling quiet and reflective,
because we do have days like that..


 May you find beauty around you to lift your spirits.


A graceful touch,




encouraging words,


a whisper of sunshine,



and when you are ready,
may your journey be full of promise.





From Hoi An, Vietnam.. 
I toast my glass
to each and every one of you...
thanking you
for your readership and friendship 
over this past year.
I don't think it can get any better 
than that for me.

Here's to you! 

Cheers!

:)

Jeanne xx

  10. Jeanne, I just wanted to stop by and wish you a wonderful New Year. I'm so happy for all your exciting changes in your life. And I love living vicariously through them since I am basically a boring home-body at heart. I also wanted to tell you that I will never forget that you were the first (big) blogger to acknowledge my 'follow' and it meant so much. To this day, you remain a model of grace and kindness in the blogging world. Thanks for being such a warm, special person.

  29. Jeanne,

    Shockingly beautiful--and that you are the origin of both words and pictures. Pure talent and spirit. I have been quietly following your block and admiring your life. You are so humble in the face of all your riches. You must be an evolved soul.

    All best for 2013. I
