Saying goodbye to 2013

Is it really the last day of 2013? Its so hard to believe that the year has come to an end. Where did this year go...? 

Reflecting back at the year..... it has been an eventful year for me for many reasons....but most importantly for one- for a new beginning- My Etsy shop 'shopAraish'. This venture had been in the making for years....only in my mind. With a great load of effort behind the scenes, it finally came to life in the second half of 2013. I'm immensely grateful to God for making this happen...and to all of my family- here at home and also back in India-for their huge support. 

My daughter was born in 2012, but as she grew up, 2013 saw my family transition from a family of three to a family of four in the true sense....and that, to me, has been a real joy.

As I was taking a break from my work this year, I took a long vacation in India and spent some quality time with my family there. I'm so glad I was able to do it. 

I have a lot to be grateful for in 2013....and I hope that 2014 is even better...for me and for all of you! 

Here's to a fabulous 2014!
