i’ll leave the 2011 roundup of the Arab uprisings, Fukushima, assassination of Osama bin Laden, union of Will-&-Kate and Nobel Peace Prize women to Life and Time. they have better stock images anyway.
i’ll just do my 2011 roundup via YouTube videos.
lesson : you can’t acquire Divine Blessing. if you got it, hang on.
lesson : happiness and peace are not the same thing. don’t kid yourself.
lesson : be prepared to get thoroughly screwed over. over and over and over again.
lesson : you’re on your own. no matter how crowded the party.
lesson : it’s okay to lose your mind (for a bit). just don’t lose your self.
great video, Amber Heard. but this is Emily Wells’ music.
lesson : you will be figured out. oh yes, you will.
lesson : it’s okay to be a helpless-hopeless romantic. it really is …
thanx Frida Kahlo, Lee Weissman and Mustafa Davis for the compass. thanx also to the kind and generous people who directly/indirectly/knowingly/unknowingly rescued me this year. i’m eternally indebted.
but most of all, thanx to my dearest family ~ the hardest hit. maybe one day …
goodbye 2011. may we never meet again.
JJ,
Here’s to whatever you wish for 2011. One of my memories: Meeting You. Gracias Juans.
I love the fact that you are passionate about everything. I love the fact that you are comfortable with me disagreeing with you.
May 2012 be more interesting …. !

Hope this New Year will bring you good health,wealth,peace and happiness. Live each day with zest, do your very best and GOD will do the rest.
My New Year,is to have a new soul.I hope you will to.

hope 2012 brings you clarity and peace *hugs*
hi Juana,
enjoyed your video log while having a break from work (Nina is just sublime) and especially your message on romance. it’s a thing so rarely witnessed.
prayers of blessings, happiness and joy in 2012 for you and your family.
