{Daily Mantra}
“Nature often holds up a mirror so we can see more clearly
the ongoing process of growth, renewal, and transfermation in our lives.”
{un.known}
I hope as we burst through the holiday season, we are filled with a sense of not only growth and renewal, but most of all love and togetherness. Just a notice to all blog readers that I am taking an extended break from blogging to enjoy my family during this time {but I can assure you, not from taking pictures). There have been many changes this year…99% great, and I want to relish in our excitement for the new year.
With that…I have some VERY (and I do mean, VERY special announcements). Upon my return, on December 31st, I will be posting a HUGE blog FILLED with all the hubbub of expected new products and offerings at la Bella Vita, as well as a delectable blog contest to start out the new year (with PRIZES…oh how I love to GIVE them). I will post tons of photos, pages and pages worth probably since by then I will probably be having massive blog withdrawal. ( I wonder if they have a pill for that). I would like to sincerely thank everyone for making 2008 such a wonderful and blessed year for me and my new business, and I can only promise you that 2009 will be more personal, more heartfelt, and more divine than the last.

God Bless you and your family this season. Have a wonderful break and enjoy the new home and children.
I completely understand! I hope you truly enjoy your time “off” with your family. I’ve been thinking about “life stuff” a lot lately (as I’m sure you gathered from my blog post yesterday) and I am feeling compelled to spend more time and effort on my family and “me”. Hugs to you and may you all have a wonderful Christmas! I will miss your beautiful posts!
Mandy, I just love this photo, it’s so cute. I love the pretty pink and delicate-ness of your little girl against the crunchy leaves.
I’ll miss your blog in the next couple of weeks, but can’t wait to see what you have in store for 2009! Enjoy your family, friends, and the holiday! Amy
