Bring On 2010

2009 was quite the year. Let me tell you why:

1. I started off the year deciding that 2009 was going to be my year. After going through some crap in 2008 I learned that I really didn’t know who I was. So it was time for me to take control . I wanted learn new things, grow into a better person and maybe be a little selfish and do things I wanted to do. It turned out great. I started taking yoga and joined an awesome hip hop class with Chantel. I dyed my hair a bunch of different colors and took a trip to California on my own.

2. My sister got married! What a perfect addition Kris is to our family.

3. Did a little traveling. I went to Mexico for my sister Jenn’s wedding and took a trip to California in October.

4. I finally graduated from school. Now I have a big girl job. The boredom of 9-5 can be excruciating at times but I know I’m lucky to even have a job. And the flow of money is a nice addition to life.

5. I did wedding flowers for four weddings this year and already have 5 booked for 2010. 3 of them aren’t even friends which is awesome because I know I’m doing my job well when people recommend me.

6. There have been babies babies BABIES everywhere. I thought it was strange when all my friends where getting married but now there all having babies. Really it’s so much fun to watch. The whole having a baby thing is really an amazing miracle. Every time I see these little ones I’m wowed.

7. Just three weeks ago I bought my self one of these. Its a 2010 Mazda 3. Mines black. The commitment to buying a new car was surprisingly overwhelming for me. The girls at work would tease me about how if the commitment of buying a new car was so nerve-racking how am I ever going to get married. There probably right, who ever decides to marry me might have to just show up with the papers because I don’t know that I can go through all that craziness. (Credit mazda3forums.com)

So here are my resolutions for 2010:
1. Plan another trip. Somewhere anywhere
2. Learn the world of business better. I’ve learned that people will take advantage of you either on purpose or subconsciously if you allow it so contracts are going to be written and policies will be made.
3. Learning to say no … I have a horrible habit of say yes to everyone. Sometimes in business and sometimes it’s in my personal life and I need I learn to stop. If I don’t want to say yes I’m not going to. This is going to be a hard on because I think its built into me. I don’t even realize what I’m saying until I’ve committed myself.
4. Take better care of myself. Exercise more, eat better and take care of myself mentally. I was reading Lisa’s blog about style and I too would like to refine my style. I’m not going to be stuff because it’s on sale. Quality and level of love will be my focus. It use to be all about price to me but then I had a closet fun of crap that I got on sale but I don’t wear.
5. Blogging more. I don’t much now because I forget about it and don’t feel like people actually read it. So if you do let me know and if you notice weeks and months have past and no post give me a little crap.

I hope you all have a wonderful new year! May you learn more, have more adventures, see more happiness and feel more love.
