That's it. The year is over.

I can't really say "thank goodness it's over", because it's truly been a good year. The motto was experiences: trips to new places, new experiences in volunteering, new experiences in education, new experiences in starting new businesses...

Quite amazing, really. Rather than telling you all about it again, you can go and check it out in the experience archive - and I'll just give you the scoop on what happened in December...

I'm past week one of a self-imposed social media break and I might be going a bit insane. Funny, how the insanity of social media can keep us sane, eh?

It's actually not that bad - but I am noticing a few things. There is definitely a lot more time for me to do other stuff. I have been reading, writing, knitting... and done lots of thinking. Of course I can't stay off social media completely, because I manage several different FB/Twitter/Pinterest/G+ accounts for various clients, but my social media involvement has been limited to those accounts only... and taking a break hasn't been all that bad.

I'll go back to my old involvement soon enough - and I'm not expecting any revelations or aha-moments, and there is no dramatic reason behind taking a break. I just wanted to cut out a bit of the noise in my life and take this time to focus on where I want to take my business next - because I feel like I've lost that focus a bit and I'm not entirely happy with the course I've taken the last 6 months.
