Thank you for visiting Jill of Virtual Assistants last blogpost for 2011. It's been a challenging yet rewarding year where time was spend re-inventing and re-strategising a brand new chapter in this exciting journey of life!
Affirmation to end 2011 - "We are the product of the choices we make NOT the circumstances that we face" - Roger Crawford - Priceless!!!
Today, I anxiously await news from London on the birth of my new nephew or niece. How cool is that, possibly a New Year's Eve and even New Year baby. What an absolute blessing he|she will be hailing in the New Year. I believe I'm more excited than the mother-to-be, hee, hee :-) Well, I have a huge role ahead of me as an aunt, to dote especially as our birthdays will be only 1 week apart. The new grandma to be is patiently waiting for news and ecstatic to be in London to welcome her 2nd grandchild.
Well, everyone, hope you having an awesome New Year's Eve patiently waiting to hail in an exciting and promising New Year 2012 which also happens to be a Leap Year :-)
Take care and chat again in 2012!

I stared at him in disbelieve as if to say 'you got to be kidding, I'm supposed ... Continue reading...
