HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Today is the last day of 2006. This has been quite a year for me. I've gone through so much it's hard to imagine it was all crammed into one year. The beginning of the year was very difficult with a lot of family troubles with my youngest. Luckily with some guidance and perseverance on my part, we got through the rough spots. Because of all the stress, I was not taking very good care of myself and headed for a serious health crisis. With some advice from another, I was able to start making some positive changes and head towards being a healthier person both mentally and physically.

I spent the summer eating healthier and exercising, was able to drop a few pounds and put myself in a much more positive frame of mind. Still, I felt something was missing and couldn't quite figure out where I was headed with my professional and personal relationships. I've spent the better part of the last three years in limbo not knowing what I'm supposed to do and feeling like I don't fit in anywhere. I've been on a journey but not getting anywhere. It's as if I were planning a vacation but not knowing where I was going or when it would happen. Little did I know what was to come

This fall everything changed. I suddenly woke up. I saw a party happening and decided to be a part of it instead of just observing. I needed a little coaxing from a new friend but it didn't take long before I jumped right in. I was ready and willing to start having the time of my life. All it took was to participate. Suddenly I found my creative self and inspired to look at the things I really wanted in life. Old dreams and passions began to resurface. I just wish it hadn't taken so long. I needed a little encouragement and now I'm on my way. There was a rough patch but I think I got through it.

I'm very excited about 2007. I feel big things coming, new ideas, growth, new projects, working with people I love and having the time of my life. I feel like I just won the lottery and now I get to go out and spend it! I want to spend it with all of my friends! This year I want all my friends to know how much I love and appreciate them and will let them know more often. I hope everyone grabs ahold of life and manifests what they want this year.

To all my friends - I love you and am so happy you are in my life!!!

As always and with much love,
TOO
