2011

It's a new year and as you can see from my last post here, it has been awhile since I've blogged.

I have gone through many changes in the last two months. And all of them I am SO happy about.

I feel so strong and confident about myself and that makes me excited and ready to take on 2011!

I have spent a lot of time reflecting back and forward. The best time to do that, for me, is first thing in the morning when I wake up and I lay in bed and for a bit just listen to the silence. Then my mind takes over and I look forward to my day and back upon my past. I lay still and quiet and tenderly poke my feelings to see exactly what is going on within myself. And I am happy to report, it's all good. I am on the path I am supposed to be on. I wake up confident and happy and usually humming and singing and smiling. That just reaffirms that I am doing what is right for me.

This year, as we all have done, I have made my resolutions. Yes, I have the usual, lose weight, exercise more, eat better, but I've added some. One of them is to spoil myself some.

For my whole life it was either a boyfriend, then husband, then children, then back to boyfriends and I always seemed to be coming up the rear. Not this year. My children will always be a priority but for once so will I. I am in the position in my life that I can do that and with this economy and uncertainty hanging around us all, I am SO very thankful for that.

2010 was a roller coaster of a ride, and not always in a good way, but I can honestly say when I got off the 2010 roller coaster I said to myself - I made it through and it ended with a 'wow'.

My most important resolution for 2011, is to accomplish my goals that I have set before myself. It won't be easy, but the first goal I am putting into place is self-discipline.

I hope your 2011 brings to you all you want, remember though, we have to work for it, it won't just come plop in our laps.

And always remember, you are an important part of this world, you deserve the best you can get. Do not settle, go forward this year and work toward all that you want.
