Thou Shalt go Forth and be Fearless!!!

One of my main goals in 2011 is to really strive hard towards the things that I want to accomplish.  Mainly my dreams.  What has been stopping me in the past you might ask?  Well, probably a lot of factors, Money, time, lack of support from people around me but ultimately I guess it would have to be ME.

There is no reason why I can't do these things.  No reason why I can't accomplish these goals.  None of this is unattainable while it might be difficult and take work to attain.  There is no one out there that is "Better than me" or that I could not reach the level of with practice. 

And then there is that nagging fear of all those people that said you couldn’t do it over the years.  And what would happen if you really couldn't???  Well forget them!  If they didn't believe in me in the first place then probably I don't need them around.  And the fear I have of trying and failing pales in comparison to the agony I would feel down the road for not having tried at all!

I would rather die someday with a heart that lived and loved and had a life full of memories and tried to accomplish my dreams than someone who played it safe and by the rules of someone else!  So my goal is to keep moving forward fearlessly in my goals and not to worry about what other people think of me :)

I'm just trying to touch my stars...

Happy Birthday Leanne!!! 30 and Fabulous!!!

Saturday was a fantastic night as a whole bunch of us headed out for one of my dearest friends 30th Birthday's!  I had my Camera in hand to capture a few moments!  I hope I look this good in a couple years!  I was told eye cream, eye cream, eye cream!!!



I am so blessed to have such amazing and supportive friends in my life!



Love you Leanne!

Fresh Year, Fresh Start!

So, to say 2010 was a bad year for me would be quite understated.  I don't need to go into great detail but I was happy to still be standing at the end of it.  It made me realize a lot of things and appreciate life as well.  Overall I feel like my outlook on life is changing daily and I am trying hard to care less and less about the little things and really try to not be so bothered about what people have to think about me.



I was extremely happy to ring in a new year and am really trying to make this a new journey for me.  We'll see if I can really stick to my guns and do it!



2011 started off with a bang!  January 7th I hopped on a plane Thailand bound for 3 weeks!  2 of my best friends who I've known for 12 years got married in Phuket on January 11th and I wouldn't have missed it for the world!  It was an amazing trip to say the least and I would love to go back again and explore more!  I think taking that time out and away also helped me gain some perspective on what I really want and need out of my life and how far I am will to go to reach those goals.



2 day's ago I returned from Thailand.  I'm still Jet lagged, feeling a bit dazed but all in all happy and rejuvenated!  My hope is that this blog can inspire other people, be a place where I can be honest and also keep me accountable!



This is day 1!
