january 2014 – thirty day recap

Published by

I  told myself I’d recap each month to see how much progress I’ve made with my goals and to strive for more in the upcoming month.  This may sound a bit too-driven for some, but it’s the only way, the older I get, the more I get the things I want done. So for January: Adopted  healthy eating and a weekly exercise routine. I’ve focused more on healthy thinking and a positive outlook. I’ve allowed myself to be photographed eight times in January, I’ll pop my photos on my blog, here and there. I’ve signed up with a marketing plan, online promoting, book signing and committed to paperback printing  for my first novel- all in the Month of January. I’ve signed on to http://www.Lumosity.com and have picked up watching The Carrie Diaries just to stay in touch with my youth. Have you achieved your goals so far? Do share.

being photographed in natural state

Published by

I vowed I would allow myself to be photographed more, so here’s the first of hopefully many and yes, it is at the beach in San Francisco on a very unusually warm Thursday evening, last week. Walks on the beach is how  I draw inspiration in most anything I need to do or work through, including brainstorming my novels, strategizing my blog topics, or simply planning a weekly dinner menu.  This is probably the best photograph of me, unaware and in the most natural state.

plans for 2014: make it happen

Published by

January 17th already and I have to say, I have no idea what’s happened thus far. I do know however, that I’ve spent most of my days so far in meetings and social gatherings getting ideas, getting to know people and getting inspired, just in general. I have big plans for 2014 and I’ve realized in the past that if I set goals, I can actually achieve them and feel fulfilled at the end of the year, no matter how small the accomplishment. This year, I have some high expectations of myself in business and some fun plans for pleasure. Hopefully I can achieve all that I set out to do this year:

end of year blues

Published by

I think I am starting to feel my usual end of year blues, as I woke up in a cold sweat early Monday morning, freaking out about what’s to come in the next two weeks and all of 2014. The strange thing is, I freak out like this often and then I am calm. Ready to deal, handle, execute and take care of everyone else who will freak out in due course. There are lots to accomplish in 2014 and in a way not enough time to get it all done. I know the major things that will happen for next year, but I also wish I knew how the little things in between, will pan out. In the meantime, I will spend a few sleepless nights, thinking and planning and working on organizing my thoughts and the upcoming life projects, hoping I wouldn’t over analyze. After all, no matter how much I think, it will happen anyway.
