You Tell Me

It's hard to believe that this year is almost over ... seriously, it really is hard to believe that another year is drawing to a close.The weird thing is that as fast as it seems the year flew by in some ways, in other ways it feels like it crawled by at a snail's pace. I've been thinking a lot about the coming end of this year ... this year ... man, this year has been a life-changing one for me for sure. I'm pretty certain I've learned more in this last year than I ever have before about so very many things ... big things and little things and lots of things in between. I've come to understand in a whole new way the responsibility that comes with writing this blog ... boy, have I ever come to understand that responsibility ... have I ever. Which leads me to what I'd like to say tonight ... or more accurately, I suppose, what I'd like to ask of you.

I've been thinking about how I should close out the year here on The Tree House ... and the more I think ... and think ... and think ... and think ... and think ... the more I think I should ask you what you think. Last year, I ended the year with a guest post ... a monumental post for many reasons, not the least of which was that the author of that post was my first guest author ever. If you read the post, you know she's a great writer ... and she's an even greater friend. Though I didn't know what she intended to write, I did know that she wanted her post to pave the way (or soften the blow, I suppose) for the one I knew I must ... yes, I definitely mean I knew I must ... publish on New Year's Day. Did I mention that this year has been a life-changing one for me? A life-changing year due in no small part to those two posts ... again, I've come to understand in a whole new way the responsibility that comes with writing this blog.

So here's where you come in ... I'd love for you to tell me how you think I should close out the blog this year. You tell me what you want to read about on the final day of 2013. You tell me if you'd like it to be a guest post or if you want it to come from me. You tell me what you want my last post of the year to be about and whom you want to write it. Shoot me an email, and let me know what you think. This is your chance to tell me ... all I ask is that you keep your suggestions clean, honest and from your heart. 

You tell me, friends ... you tell me.
