Happy New Year!!

Wow, I can't believe that 2012 is over now and we are already flying through 2013! I had an amazing Christmas with my family and Brian's. They were quite and calm, everything I need around the holidays! My favorite present was my new phone case! It's the character Stitch from Lilo and Stitch, it's so cute :) During Christmas break, I also got the chance to go to a fondue party at Olivia's house. It was a really fun time with everyone.
Ringing in the new year was a great chance to reflect on 2012 and to project in to 2013. I am so thankful for the opportunities that I have gotten from becoming Miss. North Central Ohio's Outstanding Teen and I cannot wait to start competing in the new year!
SOOO What is everyone's new year resolutions? This year, instead of making resolutions, lets make new year challenges! I follow the actress/life coach Bethenny Frankel says it, resolutions set people up for failure and lower self-esteem if you don't live up to them! However, challenges help push you a little further than you were, but never set you up for failure.
So, here is the fun part, I want YOU to email me your new year challenges! That's right, I want to hear them! Let's make this a little more fun though, after all the entries are submitted, I will read them all and I will choose the best new year challenge and post it (no worries, we can keep in anonymous) on the blog and my public Miss. North Central Ohio's Outstanding Teen Facebook page. Your challenge will inspire others! AND if THAT wasn't enough, the winner will receive a autographed photo from me! Email me your new year challenges at miss.NCOOT@gmail.com I will do my best to respond to ALL of the emails!! Let the challenge begin!!

Can't wait to hear your new year challenges!
