New year, new beginning...

Okay so yadda yadda, its a new year and everyone starts over right? I feel for once things truly are starting over for me in ways that I want to fully embrace.

I have a new relationship, I have branched out on my own as a freelance graphic designer, and I have big ideas that I want to make happen for myself and in the world.

I have always been an ideas person, and now it is time to put it into action. Taking what I for the most part deem as brilliant ideas and make something out of them. I will never be one to be satisfied with a 9-5, I will never be one to be satisfied with a picket fence relationship (not that there is anything wrong with either one of these, i just seem to get too many ants in the pants when it comes to either of them if you know what i mean). I want to grow, and grow into these new beginnings. So with that I am starting a blog. I have started listening to Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth again. I read it a year and a half ago when I was moving out here to Boulder, and had so many of those stop you dead in your tracks because you realize he is talking to only you in the universe moments. I found self love, I found my strength, I found myself... Then life happens, I got busy, I got stressed, I had a hectic job, I had hectic relationship crisis all over the place, and before I knew it I was stressed, depressed, lost, uninspired, and felt I had no direction at all again in life. Okay so some of that sounds sad and a bit morbid, but really it is always a great leaping point when I am at those lows to go back and find myself again...but do I really need to keep going down that road? Talk about a drag! So now with the support of this wonderful blogging system and the potential for someone out there to read this, I commit to you, The Internet Universe, that I will be posting and keeping you updated on my insights, my expeditions, my failures, and my wonderful moments of grace.

With Stella, a pit bull/lab (plab) mix by my side, nothing will stop me.

Here are the resolutions. Out in the open for all to see, and for me to be accountable for...

• Finish 6 books that will change my life (yet to all be determined) and take actions for each one. (what is the point if I don't take action?)
  

• Have a gallery showing
  

• Climb a 5.11 climb without stopping or resting

• Learn Spanish (re-learn I should say...and then improve on what is in my brain)

• Travel overseas again...somewhere for at least 3 weeks (now that I am mobile, why not?)
  

• Brave the dentist and fix the things that need to be fixed (new veneers!)

• Teach yoga/meditation retreats again

• Have a savings account that actually has money in it
