"People want to change everything and, at the same time, want it all to remain the same." – Paulo Coelho
This year has been a rollercoaster of change -- a lot of firsts in my personal and professional life. I was able to visit Beijing and Japan for the first time. The latter, a little more significant since Japanese culture has intrigued me since I was a small girl. I was assigned to my first stint outside of marketing. I got married. First and last, I pray. Wink! June 17, 2012 was one of the happiest, if not the perfect moment of my life. Shortly a month after, I got a positive pregnancy result. Yet, a day after, we lost it all too soon. First married life heartbreak.
