New Year... well, sort of...

Another year has come and gone, leaving behind successes and regrets.  As I look back on 2012, I am happy with many of the new projects and adventures that I have started with my sewing business, and I am pleased with the job that I did at the CVB.  I am blessed to have two beautiful girls who are healthy, happy and well adjusted.  I have a husband who loves me, a job that I find rewarding and a beautiful home to live in.

All that being said, somehow I still feel somewhat unfulfilled.  I haven't lost the weight that I want to lose.  I haven't put my house in order as much as I would like to.  I travel too much.  I don't have enough hours in the day to do everything that I want to do.  It is time for me to refocus, plan and do things differently.

This year, 2013, is going to be the year for change.  My word for the year is AUTHENTIC.  I want to live an AUTHENTIC life.  I want to know that I am being true to everyone, but mainly to myself.  I am not saying that to suggest that I have been dishonest, but I haven't always been AUTHENTIC.  I haven't said what I've wanted to say and done what I've wanted to do.

Tomorrow is the first day of change... yes, I know that I am nearly a month late on the new year.  My travels have overwhelmed me this month, so now is the time.  Tomorrow, I will really start changing our eating habits, not just mine, but also my girls.  I will start to exercise regularly.  I am going to schedule my time better, so I can do the things that I NEED to do, as well as the things that I WANT to do.  I am going to learn to say no... even to myself.  I am going to try to travel less and spend more time at home. 

This blog is going to be my outlet.  It might be crafting, cooking, sewing, parenting... or just ranting!  So.... hold on for the ride... it's time for CHANGE!!
