It is the final week of 2011 and in a few short days we will flip the calendars to a whole new year. You'll read plenty of posts predicting what the year holds and while I could do that, I have no interest.

I do want to share with you the final episode of my podcast for the year. It is an important one to me because I shared a bit of big news from my world and also recapped several different things going on with me right now. I hope you'll give it a listen.

If there is any advice I can give you on how to spend this week it would be to enjoy the downtime with your family and friends. Get outside and play. Do whatever it is the kids want to do while they are on vacation. Take a few quiet moments to jot down your thoughts and goals for the new year. Watch movies, cook big meals, laugh, play and enjoy your time.

See you in 2012.
