Here is to 2011! Before starting the first post of the new year, I took a minute to reflect on the things I've done, accomplished, attempted and expected from the beginning of last year till now. Above is a summary of my first post of 2010 and it is amazing to reflect on all that has changed since. At first, one is so quick to think that they have not done all that was wanted to be done when really it turns out you have soared above and beyond. Given that I have up routed my life from a place that I was not all together happy with, both geographically and professionally, to the sunny skies of California and the realization of what my true passion really is.This year is about execution, executing all that was set up and positioned just so perfectly that has not, until now, been ready to surge forward with. This year is about fulfilling goals and taking the ideas that were scribbled on paper to an actual reality. I never expected to actually pack it up and move across country without looking back. Having always been spontaneous and needing drastic change rather than baby steps to get from point a to point b, I am proud that I did what i set my mind to do...started my masterpiece. Although not nearly close to complete it is one hell of a start and a journey to be had. Mixing all the right colors and getting just the right paintbrush(s) to precisely create my own perfect picture.
Let's cheers to 2011, it is and will be all that you make it. No one can hold our hands but they can guide us... No one is going to do it for you but can encourage and most important no one can put in the energy to make things happen except for us, so set goals high and strive to reach higher. What was once exploration is now adventure and only a smile and that positive energy make it all that much easier. A certain lifestyle is a choice and this year it is about the changes that are necessary to fulfill. Happy 2011- don't be afraid, don't get discouraged and do not look back...
