The obligatory New Year Post

I am a HUGE fan of new beginnings. I love new years and birthdays because I believe each presents us with fresh starts. I always make resolutions and goals for both occasions. The introduction of 2010 was no different -- I made goals and now...4 days into 2010 (and a Monday) have to put the goals into action. My goals for 2010 are not easy ones (are they for anyone?) and I actually had a nightmare last night which I attribute to the oncoming of today. I went outside to walk my dog, Dudley, when I heard lots of scurrying in the bushes, so I took Dudley back inside and a pack of dogs attacked the door just as I shut it. I kept trying to keep the door shut but I could feel them pushing through. I started to scream for help from my fiance but the bedroom door was closed and he wouldn't wake up. I was freakin' terrified! But then the dogs stopped trying to get inside and layed down in front of the door. I could see them through the curtain, there were 2 white dogs and a german shepherd looking dog. I wasn't as frighten but I was still scared...not sure what to do next. I really don't know what to make of this dream except to think it was an anxiety dream knowing that today I would have to wake up and start the steps to making my dreams (minus last night's) come true. What steps do I need to take? What is the first one? Writing this blog at 5:30am? One of the goals I made was to get out into the world more -- to stop being so afraid and hesitant to make myself known...I need to take risks and metaphorically, shout from mountain tops. I am learning that I need to communicate more in order to jump into the world which means asking for others help and input along the way which is putting myself out there.....this is a cyclical thought which demonstrates how intertwined my goals are.
What are your goals for 2010? For the decade?

  1. These are the extact same thoughts I find myself returning to each day since the new decade started. Thanks for the reminder (and inspiration) to keep working towards my goals. One of my goal for this year is sucess. Of course, defining what I consider sucess is the hard part.

    I love your blog and your products! Keep them ALL coming :)
