Though 2013 certainly had its highs and lows, moments of joy and moments of tears, and a sense of accomplishment often accompanied by a sense of failure, overall it was pretty awesome! Unsurprisingly I happened to learn a few things.
Time alone
Being by myself once is awhile is healthy, fabulous and above all, necessary. It gives me a chance to unwind, relax, think, but most importantly, just be.

It’s time to do something for me

And one fact was reconfirmed:
Reputation is more important than money, this along with dedication, hard work and professionalism cannot be bought. After all, I always so that money is a renewable resource if you have a job or the skills required to make yourself employable.
I hope you’ve had a chance to reflect on your year to make steps to move forward.

Hello, Mandy. I recently found your blog and it has been such an inspiration. I had the opportunity to visit Morocco 2 years ago with friends who are originally from Casa, and it was absolutely awesome…loved it so much that I am returning in a few months for an extended vacation (based in Tetouan). I would love to connect with you when I return. In the meantime, best wishes for the new year! 🙂
Hi Nicole,
Thank you for your kind words. Tetouan is an interesting choice, and close to the gorgeous Mediterranean Coast. Do keep in touch and all the best for 2014! x Mandy
