You can call me SL, this is about living.

Here's to 2012 and to the Year of the Dragon!

I celebrated the New Year eating dim sum with friends, while The Swede who is once again in Istanbul, went to a Hamam. While he was relaxing on hot stones getting a scrub and massage, I was running, rather sliding, around the icy sidewalks of New York City completing errands on a belly full of dim sum.

When we were in Istanbul back in the fall, I made the conscious decision not to go to a Hamam, although it was highly recommended. I'm not really the "get a massage" kind of gal. But on a day like the ones we've been having, I would have willfully gone and said, "Scrub away!"

Starting a new year is all about embracing new things, and I'm just going to just go ahead and embrace 2012 with open arms. If you can hear me 2012, please embrace me back and give me some love. Give everyone some love while you're at it. I think the whole world needs a big hug.

All the best to you and yours in this new year.
