I don’t want to make any new years resolutions—I never seem to be able to keep them—but instead, some simple goals for the new year: • exercise more frequently • eat healthfully • journal • blog more frequently 2011 has been a year of ups and downs; I honestly don’t think I can...

so this week is my one-year tumblr anniversary.
It’s hard for me to believe that it’s already been a year since I decided to join tumblr—as roamingonthethrill, a 100% photoblog.

new look & an update
I want to begin this post with an apology—I know I’ve been seriously lacking in posts lately. I even toyed with the idea of deleting this blog altogether, as it had started to feel like a responsibility…but then something dawned on me. First of all, I wasn’t enjoying it because I wasn’t being true to myself. I’d been holding back from posting certain things...
