Dearest IPOM readers! I mentioned a few posts back that I am a big fan of the New Year, and with it all the promise each new opportunity/moment offers us in life. There should always be time to dream, and to plan the life we want, like we (maybe) used to do when we were kids.
The amazing part about being a grown up is we actually get to pursue those things we want, which is maybe a big part of why I always wanted to grow up so fast when I was young. But honestly, how awesome is that?Β We are really only as limited as we think we are (IMO). My favorite quote of all time is by Goethe, “Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace and power in it.”
I was thrilled to read your comments affirming that many of you have a similar reverence for embracing the opportunity for positive change, whether it be at the beginning of a New Year or anytime, and as usual my heart balloons when I read your wonderful comments and well wishes.
As part of the evolution of this process, I will be moving this blog to a new host in the coming week or so, and want to invite you all to (hopefully – with both fingers crossed!) continue to follow me there. Not much will be changing, but you might see a slightly more streamlined site, as I prepare to further my mission of embracing less to find more.
More substance, and a whole lot more of what matters, including continuing to share with all of you, the readers of this blog. I am super excited to move forward and want to thank you all in advance as IPOM ventures forward, and grows up maybe (just a little).
Re-subscribing to the blog will be incredibly simple, and a follow by email option will be easy and accessible. The major change for many of you is that my posts will no longer appear in WordPress reader for those of you who follow me there. Those of you who already subscribe by email will not be affected at all.
Every young girl has dreams – and hopefully they stay with her even when she gets big. Thank you for all of the inspiration & encouragement this past year! I am so looking forward to the coming months of wonderful food and hope we can continue to share stories & inspire each other in the months (and years) to come.
- What changes are you implementing this year, if any?
- Got any dreams you’d like to share?
Thank you to all who have played a part in the coming together of this project, and again to all of you for sharing your hearts and your stories with us π Next up, we’ve got a sweet new recipe or two, so get ready for something delicious!
Yours in Less,
Congrats on going self-hosted! I am taking back control of my life and living it for me this year. I am dreaming of a new job. Happy Friday:)
Thank you Renee! Best of luck to you in your endeavors this year as well!
Excited that you are going self-hosted. I would like to go there, but it seems like a big leap. Perhaps 2013 will be the year to make the change. All the best!
Thank you so much Terri! I am sure it is going to be a great year – your support is much appreciated! π
I will definitely continue to follow! Can’t wait to see what the future holds.
Thank you Meg, that means the world to me! Happy 2013! π
I am so excited for you to switch to a new host!! Moving forward with the blog is a huge achievement!
Thank you Brittany, my smiling happy blog friend! Always love to hear the encouraging words from your corner of the world! Can’t wait to take you with me π XO
I’ll follow you anywhere Shira! π Good luck and congrats on the move.
Thank you Karista! So excited, and thank you for all of your support! XO
Yay! So exciting! Congratulations and you bet I’m following along :-)!
Thanks Anne!! You are one of those ones I just couldn’t do it without! Looking forward to a fabulous year! π XO
Congratulations, that’s so exciting! I’ve been debating back and forth about whether to go self-hosted (I bought the domain and everything!), but I can’t seem to get up the courage to make the switch π
Thanks Maura! Feel free to email me if you have any questions – I’ll definitely have lots to share! π
I will definitely be following you Shira. Best to you always. π
Thank you LuAnn – you as well! Your support means so much, and there is lots to come in the coming year! Best to you! XO
Looking forward to it!
Lovely pics. Good luck with the move.
Thank you Michelle! Your support is so appreciated – happy 2013! XO
Good luck with the move, though I doubt you’ll need it. π
Thank you John! π
I enjoy reading your blog and will follow you. Good luck in your big move. My dream this year is to see more of the great big world, and to live every day.
‘Live every day’ – such wonderful words, thank you Joan!
I hope I still get the blog via my Google rss feed reader, I only just discovered you recently and would hate to miss out on your entertaining posts. Congratulations on your move and here’s to a wonderful New Year full of possibilities π
Thank you! RSS should be no problem – be sure to drop me a line if you have any issues – would hate to have anything disrupted! Emailing will be very easy, so don’t hesitate to let me know. Thanks! π

Congrats to you for making the leap to a new host site. I’ve tried twice to migrate with dismal results. Do you mind sharing who your new host will be?
Will do Michelle – thank you! I am going with Bluehost and am lucky to have a guiding hand in the form of an expert to help me in the process π If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line!
I am SO excited for you Shira and I will follow you all the way π
Congratulations!!!
Love the photos π
Thank you Anne! Your support has and is so wonderful – thank you! I love these shots too – taken by my eldest of her younger sister. Such amazing beings little girls are π
I’m looking forward to seeing your new space, too. Good luck!
Thank you Heidi! I am hoping it all goes well and will need all the luck I can get! XO
Good luck with the move.
Thanks Sally!! π
And so it begins…at least for me anyways. π I can not stress enough how I excited I am for the MORE that is to come. Also, I am looking forward to having a little less too. As I said yesterday, Bring It On!! π
Can’t wait to see the final development to both websites.
Coming along my friend – cannot wait!
Beautiful photos! I’m so happy the blog is expanding, and I look forward to many more wonderful posts. This year started with a move for the Tiny Kitchen…a literal one. I’m hoping to have a chance to blog this week about it… Congrats to you!
Thank you Jennifer and congrats on your move! Looking forward to an update from you soon!
Hello Shira,
Sort of stumbled across your blog while visiting another. Very intriguing! The picture of your daughter was a sweet reminder that angels come in all sizes.
Best to you.
Paul
