Happy New Year.

I always get nostalgic on New Years Day. I like to comb through photos, videos and journals from the previous year, usually in search of the reason why I, yet again, broke my resolutions.

After watching YouTube’s amazing video recap of 2012 above, I was inspired to make a version (undoubtedly less impressive) of my own 2012. A little cheesy, but fun, and a good distraction from the actual work I should be doing. And there goes my resolution to be more focused. Oh well.

From reporting on Rick Berlin and all his musical endeavors in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts to politics, protests and refugees in Jordan, I’ve met some beautiful people this year and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have done so. Happy 2013!
