2011 - Lauren's (Lala's) Year in Review

I love the end of the year. I get really excited about the new one coming (wherever will I vacation to THIS year?, what kind of calendar is going to hang in my office...islands or sunsets?, what are my new goals going to be?) and I also try to reflect on the one that is soon going away for good. I live for any kind of 'Year in Review' musical montage showing all the memorable events that happened in the year (thanks Today Show and Charlie Sheen). So I got to thinking about all the AMAZING things that have happened to me this year, and this has definitely been one for the books. It never ceases to amaze me how unbelievably blessed I am and I know that every good thing I ever had or did or said came from God...
This was my 2011, in no particular order.


  1. Bought half a town house (my sister bought the other half)

  2. Vacationed in Mexico, Bahamas, Curacao and Jamaica (and traveled for business to Jamaica and NJ)

  3. Realized my life long dream of shopping in the size MEDIUM after losing 30 lbs (Bonus - Jenn's clothes fit me)

  4. Won my Crossfit gym's Body contest and a free 1-year membership (a $1200 value) and most importantly...bragging rights ;)

  5. Was featured in the WORLDWIDE publication of the Crossfit Journal for my personal fitness transformation.

  6. Made amazing reunions with awesome people from my past and realized that it's 100% better the second time around!

  7. Performed as a back-up dancer for Delfrida to help raise money and toys for underprivileged kids.

  8. Fell in love...with me...for the first time ever. True unconditional love. (It feels like forever and I hope the honeymoon never ends.) I got my mojo back and there ain't nothin' you can do about it!

  9. I saw Pitbull in concert! (This is newsworthy for me and I make ZERO apologies for it)

  10. I saw the Heat beat the Celtics at HOME!

Suffice it to say I had a good one. Yes, there are some things that didn't make that list but that's OK, because now I have something to look forward to next year. May 2012 be even more abundant in blessings and love and friends and family and positivity and endurance and strength and faith and hope and prosperity...but most importantly in LOVE.


God Bless YOU!
