Et Voila! 2010. Fully exposed and waiting for each and everyone one of us to enter gracefully with a whole new perspective and meaning. Well, that’s the way I see it anyway…
As I get older…eh hum, I mean….more mature and wise as the years progress… I do find that I AM learning things. Sometimes those things take several ”face plants” to realize, but all in all, I have learned that my “inner voice” is something I do need to listen to more often. I did try to “take the road less travelled” as I often do, fully knowing that ‘that little voice inside my head’ just knew it wouldn’t work, and that’s Okay. I am not always right. It happens and I’m dealing with it. New experiences, although not always practical in a sence, are indeed required to flourish and advance. The “little voice” will help you on your way–seriously!
I believe that this year will be a great year. I have plans. Exciting, fun, & maybe-even-a-little-scarry big plans! I turn 30— you hear that THIR-TY!!! What the heck?! I’m ready for it- I think, ready for some change. Some good change!I’ve had my 2 years of crazyness, had a blast, and now look forward to finding TRUE balance. Pacing myself, not taking on too much or dipping in to too many ventures, this is the frame of mind I’m in right now. Looking ahead and gracefully focussing on the things that are truely important. Saying ‘no’ maybe a thing I have to work on this year. I am a people pleaser, I try to do it all…and let’s face it, that’s just not realistic, nor is it practical. Right?!
I have looked at my upcoming year, it is full~ish, but do-able. I am not stretching myself. I have 7 Weddings booked. June, July, August are all booked. I am only taking 2 weddings a month this year, instead of a Wedding every weekend. April & May have a couple weekends each available. And I am not booking for Fall until February. Family, Pregnancy, Children, & Birth shoots all still some room & open for bookings. I have a “please call me 1st” list for September on. …Oh ya, and did I mention Dec 20th- I officially started booking for 2011–WOW how exciting…Congrats Amanda!
So what is my 2010 New Years Resolution??? It is simple but highly versitile & effective– it can be put into play with everything I do. So what is it…? Well, here it is: MAKE HEALTHIER CHOICES. Now, you’re probably thinking–Wow, that’s original, but it is. This is not your typical “Salad vs. Fries” type of healthy choice, but an overall application. With every decision I am faced with this year, my answer will be determined by what is the healthier choice. Mental health, Physical health, Family Unit Health {ya I made that up, but it’s a good one in my books}, it is all important for a healthy lifestyle. And of course I will be choosing Salad over Fries!
I want balance. I want a healthy body & mind. I want a fruitful & healthy functioning family unit. I want to be happy. I want to be in control of my career & for sure… I WANT TO HAVE FUN!
Do-able. Totally do-a-ble, with grace and dignity. I feel positive {and a little like Oprah at the moment} for the year to come. I am learning, and excited for what the future holds. I am positive about implementing this resolution, and not just talking about it! …And seriously, if you do it right, it’s not asking for too much!!
I took the holidays off– like for real, OFF. It was nice to take a break from work mode and get my 2010 priorities in order. Over the next week I will be easing back into the swing of things, pacing myself, and enjoying it of course! lol Should anyone require my services please contact me for availability & bookings.
I look forward working with you this year, Thank You to all my faithful blog stalkers– I love hearing from you, please feel free to continue to comment!
All the Best~ melissa xo
PS. I will be posting my Family shoot from the end of November later today. I’ll add it to this post once we return from tobogganing {healthier choice, instead of siting snuggling with my lap top right now–haha} It was CRAZY beautiful that afternoon of the day we did my fam pics. No snow & plenty of sun!! I actually had a bit of time over the holidays to sit and play with my photos that have been waiting on the side lines all of 2009–weird! … Check back later today for the pic update ~m
