Well here we are, yet again on the cusp of a brand spankin’ new year. 2011 is in its death throes, 2012 is readying itself to be born. Circle of life, Simba.
And so as I’ve done every year since back in 2007 I hereby present a very brief compendium of my favorite posts from the past year – one favorite for each month of the year – and a collection of some of my favorite photos from 2011.
I only made one mp3 mix this year (a sad state of affairs I promise to remedy come 2012), but you can download that here.
2011 in words:
- About a boy
- Three of hearts
- After fairy tales
- Words against monsters
- Tin Anniversary
- Empathy
- In defense of divorce
- Conduits of my self
- The neurotic parent’s guide to telling your kids about the epic horrors of humanity
- Revelator
- In which I valiantly half-ass yet another thing
- Hearing hoofbeats

I also want to just take a moment to direct your attention to my Recommended Reading list located in the right sidebar, and humbly suggest you keep an eye on that in the days and weeks to come. I’ve been trying to fill it with the best posts I read by other personal bloggers, and believe you’ll be glad you took the time to click those links when you do.
Have a great New Years Eve and Day, everyone. Here’s to health and happiness and joy for you and yours in the new year, and as always, thanks so much for reading.
With love,
xo Tracey
