2013…Here We Come!
I have started and stopped this post about five times. I almost wrote about resolutions and setting goals (totally boring). I almost wrote about some of my favorite books of 2012 but stopped when I opened my window to the blogosphere and everyone else had the same idea. I almost wrote about how posts go viral but then decided against it since I’ve never had one of mine go viral so what the hell did I know.
So here I am, at the beginning of a bright shiny new year and have no idea what to say. Call it vacation brain, too much time with kids, or because I have umpteen things to do around the house starting with putting away Christmas decorations. My wee brain can only handle so much so instead, I greet you (and the new year) with a smile that warmed my heart this week.
Here’s to finishing novels, finding agents, publishing articles, reading great books, staying healthy and fit, and forging more friendships in the process.
Happy 2013 everyone!
Smiles,
Hallie

I'm a midwest gal living vicariously through books, writing, her crazy family, and a few great friends. My blog covers all of the above as I attempt to figure out what the hell I'm doing at any given moment. 
















Here’s to smiles — many many more of them! Beautiful! Happy New Year, Hallie! xox
Sounds like a good plan to me!
Well, I think what you said is great! So, yes, here’s to finishing novels, finding agents, reading books, and staying healthy and happy. I agree – what a great smile shot; a keeper, for sure

I love this. Sometimes all we really need is a smile, right?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
