2013 was a whirlwind for me. I felt 2013 was a learning year filled with trials and tests; it was a year where I was yanked from my comfort zone, and then my comfort zone was demolished, blown up to be exact, and I was fed to the wolves (not to mix too many metaphors).
Although, at times, 2013 was uncomfortable it allowed me to keep moving, forced me try new things, afforded me new opportunities, pushed me to meet new and amazing people, and most importantly it helped me grow as a person. I am grateful to be moving into 2014 with a fierce courageousness, and burning fire to push myself further!
Here are 13 of our favorite Dusk & Rubies moments from 2013:

Looking back at 2013 I can really see how amazing it was. Why is it always when looking back that everything seems so great? (**New Resolution: try to enjoy the moments while in the moment.)
Here is to 2014! May there be more moments to excite us, more moments to enjoy, and more moments for us to share with all of you! Happy New Year!
Stay Lovely,
