goodbye 2010


My fingers are itching to turn the page of my calendar. New year, blank slate, fresh start.

I've been blessed with so many good things this year, but, truth be told, they've been tempered by some pretty trying times. I don't care what anyone else says, I'm convinced that Mercury was in retrograde for the past 365 days...not that I believe in astrology, but I'm desperately looking for a scapegoat here. The bright spots of 2010 were very bright, blinding even. Example: Traveling with my husband was so much fun that it really should be one of Oprah's Favorite Things... if only Oprah knew my husband and was remotely interested in vacationing with him. The low points of 2010 were heartbreaking and tested the limits of my inner strength and faith. They proved to be yet another life lesson that disguised itself as an emotional cha-cha...one step forward, two steps back.

But I have big plans for the coming year, both personally and professionally. I'm exhausted from working straight through the holidays, but the old familiar feelings of motivation, inspiration and determination have started peeking through the clouds and I'm warmed by their rays of hope.

Yoo-hoo, 2011...I'm ready for you.

Wishing you all a joyful and prosperous new year!
