All I see, all over Facebook statuses is “Good ridance 2009, welcome 2010″… well, maybe it was not a perfect year for most of us, but at the same time, it’s been a fun ride at times and I thought it would only be fair to compile the 10 things I loved about 2009. In random order…

1. My new nephew, Maxence, was born on September 21… new addition to the Julienne-Branda family.

2. Thanks to Facebook, I reconnected with my friend Sally, over 15 years later; and visited her and her family.

3. I became a better dancer, a better teacher, I choreographed, performed, and found a dance-partner.

4. I lived my childhood dream and became a movie critic for a few month.

5. I made hilarious memories with friends: zip-lining, Poconos, Alissa’s birthday…

6. I got involved in amazing projects such as Philadelphia Fashion Week or Dancing with the Philadelphia Stars.

7. I finally made it to Coney Island.

8. I more than doubled the income of Raison d’Etre.

9. I created Oh Little Audrey Says.

10. I loved, got my heart broken, and still found the strength to keep on loving.
