I love the beginning on a New Year. I don't do resolutions though. I really hate that word. I think as soon as you make a "resolution" you're doomed. However, I do love the opportunity to "shake it up" and reconsider my focus and goals for the upcoming year.

As Oprah says, “The New Year is a time to boldly take the first steps toward your best future."

So here are a few of my bold intentions:

1. SHAKE UP MY PATTERNS AND HABITS TO CREATE TIME FOR WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TO ME.

(Given the fact that I'm a first born, Type A personality who thinks I'm superhuman, it's time to slow the hell down!  This is going to take some serious effort! I have GOT to let go of the little stuff - it's simply a time sucker. I mean, does anybody even notice how clean my house is or that the laundry is always done or the checkbook always balanced?)

SO LESS OF THIS:

AND MORE OF THIS:

THEN I'LL BE THE CHIC ON THE LEFT AND NOT THE RIGHT!

2. WHICH WILL LEAVE MORE TIME TO FOCUS ON THE NEW ENDEAVORS IN PROGRESS FOR KANDRAC  & KOLE IN 2011.

Talk about a shake down (more of this to come)! I just ordered the exterior building sign for our new office which makes me feel like we are finally announcing ourselves to the world!

BALANCE and FOCUS bring TIME. Time Joann and I will be using on thinking outside the box.....  For a BIG, BOLD, BRAVE 2011!!!!!
