“Whenever I was a little girl I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I knew the kind of woman I wanted to be…” Diane Von Furstenberg

So I have wanted to sit down and write for a few days now about which road my life has taken me down recently but haven’t come to terms with anything I feel needs to be brought to the table or vented about. Everything is just perfect right now and I couldn’t be happier. Things are going pretty well for me these days and I’m getting closer to seeing a glimpse of that “so called” light everyone talks about being at the end of the tunnel. I feel like I am finally able to take a little bit of a deep breath, which feels amazing.


When is the right time for someone to really hone in on what they what to do with their life? I mean is there a time frame or an age where these things need to be figured out by? I have an idea of course and am fully aware of what my strong points are as far as work is concerned but I just want so much out of my life I don’t know which to jump at first. This whole new year, fresh start, new beginnings, new happiness thing is really starting to kick into full swing and I couldn’t be more ready for it. The past year was a rough one but I’d be crazy if I didn’t say that I’m glad all of the madness happened. I came to terms with a failed relationship, lost friends, gained new friends, went countless interviews, lost my Uncle Jonnie, was overcome with stress 80% of the time BUT having gone through all of that I can honestly say that I truly believe that I am where I am suppose to be and have the people in my life that are supposed to be here. I feel so blessed to be able to have such amazing friends and family surrounding me that I don’t know how I would have gotten through it without them.

I’ve got so much going on this year and I can’t wait for all of it to kick off and get going. I in no means want to rush the process of these events but to say I’m excited is simply an understatement. I didn’t think it was possible for more of my friends to get engaged but boy was I wrong? Three girlfriends of mine that I’m remembering got engaged in 2010. There are probably a few that I’m forgetting but maybe I’m just confusing them with the actual of weddings I went to last year because there were about 765 of them… but who’s counting? There are a few trips I want to take this year for sure and really need to get cracking on the actual planning part of them! I’ll be in San Fran again in July for a week and Lauderdale in May for weddings but I want to get a few more fun weekend trips under my belt soon. I’m getting the urge to go to St. Augustine, Savannah again (shocker), Charleston, DC in the Spring, New York, maybe down to the Keys to visit some friends…nothing too crazy but I think a fun road trip up the East Coast would be kind of fun, but only if in good company of course. (Ahem)

I’ve said this countless times I think throughout this posting but I don’t believe I can say it enough. I’m so in love with this new and exciting chapter that’s starting in my life right now and I couldn’t be more ready to take the next step in getting “me” back again. The past couple of weeks have been pretty incredible and if they progress the way I feel they will, 2011 is going to be my year. So with that said my loves… deep breathes and cheers to knowing that the end is worth it and never letting go of its promise.
