It's amazing to think that 2011 is almost over already. It feels like it just began! This January's Sundance Film Festival seems like just the other day. But once I think about it, I realize that so much has happened since.
Growing up I always heard how each year goes faster and faster... If that's true, then I'm screwed because they are already going uncomfortably fast. Yesterday, while at a birthday luncheon, one guest told me he'd known the birthday girl since 1996. Upon first glance, I imagined that this wasn't too terribly long, but once utilizing my inceibly sound math skills, I deducted that this had been in fact 14 years, which seems to be a rather significant amount of time after all.
Nevertheless, this is a reminder that time is ticking by and if you aren't accomplishing what you want to at this point, then this seems to be an appropriate moment to take a step back, review and update your game plan. I have a great many personal and professional goals that have yet to be attained. Some pen, paper, coffee and quiet prove a good combination to writing out one's goals and action steps in a logical and do-able manner.
Something which strikes me to the core, however, is the lack of living in the moment that I see all around me and even within my own life. What is the difference between a child and an adult? Besides age, it is responsibilities, obligations, technology and tasks. A child is free to completely immerse herself in exactly where she is. As a youth, I felt like each season lasted eternally. Now it's already December 5th and I haven't had time to enjoy the Holiday season yet! This is an alarm bell for me to live more in the moment, and to enjoy the present, always. While it comes naturally to children, it is an entire other beast for adults. I promise that it is well worth it to take that time though, as often as you can manage, to enjoy your present.
This Christmas I hope to slow down enough to enjoy and indulge myself in the season. It's a beautiful, magical time of year, and I wish for everyone to experience it for themselves in it's entirety.
God bless.

Today is Day One
Wow, I've never done a blog. I'm one of those people who is constantly thinking of things to do, and then only occasionally following through with those ideas. Today is one of those rare days for me. I updated my website, my princess website, and then got all creative and decided to try this on for size...finally!!
Unfortunately I am not a blog aficionado, and therefore have NO idea what I'm doing. Any help would be much appreciated. : ) Do you ever feel like you have so much to say, and then once some blank paper is shoved in your face you can do no better than to look at it dumbly, declaring that if only you had more time, could you make something truly remarkable out of this scrap. I pray I am not alone in this - to avoid feeling any more hopeless.
No, that's not true. I don't want you to think that I'm a depressive. Quite the contrary. I am bright, clever, and I make people laugh. I'm the one with the "upbeat personality". I promise. But this is new to me, it's late, I'm feeling introspective, and honestly, who is really going to read this anyway?
My goal is to keep this up. Just for me - no one else. Just to see if I can follow through. Perhaps over time I will find some clarity in what I am writing, and thereby will accomplish a great deal - to know that I do have things to contribute. Perhaps I will find a voice here that has avoided me thus far.
So here's to doing it. Good luck to all of you actual real writers out there. God bless. Perhaps one day I might be able to join your ranks. Until then you can count on my longing to be typing away beside you, and not having the balls to do it- but that's besides the point. I commend you, look up to you and long to be you. Fingers crossed for one day... Comments, advice and support are welcome, although unexpected at this point.
