A New Year , A Fresh Start

A NEW YEAR, A FRESH START!!

So here we are already well into January 2014.  How are your resolutions holding up?  I am going to be brutally honest....I have already dropped the ball on mine.  However, I am not a quitter and I am just going to pick up that ball and get back into the game.  Do not let your frustrations or disappointments take control.  We are all human.  Yes, we are capable of amazing things, and incredible change but sometimes we stumble or lose our footing along our journeys.  That is OK!!  I will say again, it's OK!!  It's those stumbles and falls that allow us to learn invaluable lessons.  They can make us resilient and more determined.  And that my friends is exactly what I intend to take away from missteps - resiliency and determination.  This year I am actively dedicating myself to being mindful and learning everything I can about that.  I am going to be more forgiving of myself and take the time to pursue ALL my passions.

I just attended a wonderful Women In Business conference here in London, ON and I walked away from that event with my heart and mind FULL of inspiration, and new found knowledge. I met and listened to amazing mentors and I have to say that I was completely in the moment that day.  I wasn't thinking about the unfinished laundry, the unattended mounds of paperwork waiting for me or what I needed to pick up at the grocery store - for 8 hours I was "the moment" and I have to say it felt wonderful!!  I hope this year you can find yourselves present and mindful in your moments.  I hope you can take the time to explore your passions and exercise your creativity.  This feeds your soul.  This can also change your life.
