A fresh start. A new
chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and
loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of
delight and self-discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in
which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change.

Looking Back
Amazing how time
flies, days turn into weeks, months and years. One moment we are infants the next
we are adults. It’s been a while since I last posted on my blog, for a reason
or 2 it’s been difficult just finding that space, quiet and some good music for
this. I’m hoping this will change with time though.
Back to the agenda…
If the value of a
person’s life is measured by their experience, and whether they've lived their
life to fulfillment. I think I’ll give 2014 a pass; I can summarize my
culmination of 2014 in two simple words “Breaking Free” free from my comfort
zone, to explore and discover the newness of life.
2014 was the year I
made several marks in my career, made tough decisions, treaded on fiery
grounds, I simply out did myself! And not to forget that this is the year I
achieved a milestone in my years of existence – thanks to God, I celebrated my
silver anniversary! And honestly it was the best feeling and the most memorable
moment for the year – my silver lining. I am pleased I have been patient, after
all that is one of the toughest things to do, but being patient has allowed me
to learn and grow as an individual and hopefully 2015 will be a reflection of
my sacrifice and input over the past 2 years.
But it hasn’t all
been sunny days; dark days were experienced too it has been a tough year. I’ve
had a lot on my plate and at times it has taken its toll. I’ve felt like
running away more times this year that I’d care to admit. The feeling of being
pulled in so many directions when my heart simply wants to go one way has been
tough. At times I’ve felt selfish, at times I’ve had my patience fail and been
horribly overwhelmed. But my resilience has been outstanding I’m here and I
made it when there were certainly moments I thought I wouldn’t.
It doesn’t go without
mention though that as each year passes by we come across angels in our lives
and moments that take our breath away. I would like to appreciate my friends
and family for the special moments we shared in the past year.
This year I managed
to not only find myself but make peace with myself. On a deeper level, that has
been the most personal of journeys for the year and one I am proud of.
I believe in living
life the way that you want to live it every day, and if you do that, you don’t
really need to have New Year’s resolutions.
– Tom Ford
Each year is a gift,
filled with profound opportunities for growth and enlightenment. If there was one
lesson that was most significant in 2014, it would be resilience, sacrifice,
determination to act on what I believe in, that after all has been said and
done I have me, my future to build on.
Once upon a time,
2015 sounded so futuristic. Now it’s here. It’s the year of new beginnings and
discoveries. My horoscope says… Go for what you believe in, explore, discover
and live life to the fullest!
Break Free!
