REFLECTION

Well, it's the new year. A brand new one, 2013 in fact. To bad for those superstitious folk, they are going to dislike this year (my father included). I however, am very excited for this year. 2013, you better bring it.

2012 was interesting, to say the least. A lot happened. This past year has been a lot of refocussing, and learning, and failing, failing some more, then circling back around to learn more. Most of the learning was focused on myself, figuring out what I want and need and what I need to do to obtain that. I've figured some of it out, but not all of it. But hey, that is was 2013 is for, right? And all the years to come. If I had it all figured out now, I'd have nothing to look forward to, so it's perfect!

Anyway, I am just going to post this now, since I started writing this on Tuesday, you know, when the New Year actually began. So cheers everybody, here's to 2013!

Also, I would like to note that I am writing down goals this year, for the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE! Which probably isn't entirely true, I am sure I've written down a goal before but it was probably something like, "My goal is to save up for a My Little Pony since Dad keeps giving me Tonka Trucks". With that being said, I will likely share those goals here to try and hold myself accountable ... and then so I can brag about them once they've been accomplished ;-)

HAPPINESS

In true Self fashion, I am a month behind in getting Jenna her monthly mantra -- but what's a girl to do, right? I mean, I made a pretty for her, so we're all good :)

KISS

My favorite and best mentor/teacher in college would say this to us all the time, "use the KISS method -- keep it simple, stupid." It's stuck with me through the years and I cannot help but think of it everyday as I work. It's a pretty good thing to live by too, I love simplifying -- albeit that is difficult sometimes :)
