Naughty New Year Blog Hop

Alanna Coca

Welcome to the JustRomance.Me blog hop! If you aren’t on the tour bus, just click HERE to get on board. I hope you all had a wonderful Chanukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Solstice, and/or anything else you happen to celebrate. Now we welcome 2013 with open arms! I know I expect great things from the coming year. To recap 2012, I thought I’d share some of my favorite GOOD things that happened in 2012, in no particular order:

August, 2012. Gabby Douglas, the 16 year old gymnast who helped win USA Gold in women’s gymnastics. I was glued to my television.
Mars Rover. August 5, 2012. Ten years. $2.5-billion. 5,000 people. from 37 states. What a thrill.
UN Goal Achieved! The goal of reducing by half the number of people without access to safe drinking water has been achieved well ahead of the 2015 target.
November 6. After four states moved forward toward equality, these two ladies got their official marriage license in WA. Congrats!!

Even from all the bad news in the world, the good stories emerge. Like Mr. Rogers said…”look for the helpers”. I don’t think I’ve looked forward to a clean slate much more than I have this year. 2013 is going to be amazing! Now, keep hopping along so you can win some great books and other prizes to start the new year off right. I also have some free books to give away, just click HERE, and choose your favorite e-tailer. Have a wonderful 2013 everyone.
