During the past year, I did not do any justice to this blog nor to my desire to indulge in Armeniana projects such as learning to write in my mother tongue all over again, this time in a somewhat professional level, being involved in community work, or reading Armenian literature. The past year brought many challenges and changes in my life and it saddens me that I postponed my dreams, but I look forward to welcoming this fledgling year, the year of my 30th birthday, with open arms and aspire to make this year full of promise and wonder.
