Happy 2009!

It was a nice break.  I reconnected with friends (though I still need to do that more) and spent time with my husband, relaxed, wandered the city, and found inspiration.

The wonderful thing about the  new year is that it inspires.  Tabula rasa. It's the chance to start fresh.  And more than usual, I feel a strong positive energy rising.  Everyone is excited about the changes to come this year.

It's time to get cracking on my own ideas, but I feel like taking a break has given me the perspective I need.  Sometime stepping away makes every thing make sense.

Of course, I've made a couple of resolutions.  Mostly, this is going to be the year  of "Yes"!  Looking back on the past few months, all of the challenges I'm most excited about come from me stepping out of my comfort zone and saying yes to the things I normally said no to.  No more! 

Life's a big ocean, and it's time to see what's going on in there!
