As I prepare to move forward into the New Year, I am spending a lot of time reflecting on a great part of what transpired in 2008. Now, I have to tell you that although I am spending time reflecting, I'm not harping on any one thing in particular. If I focus too much on what happened in the past, I am bound to run into some trouble in the future for lack of foresight. So with that said, I guess you could say that I'm more focused on making 2009 the best year for the best ME that I can be.
I thank all of the wonderful people that have come into my life and gotten cozy, for the women that have become like sisters to me and the men that have become like brothers to me, all of that love was needed to help me push forward through 2008. My family at the National Black Arts Festival...WOW! Kristin, Jamey, Christel, Shari (and family!) If i got specific it wouldn't be enough.
It has been quite sometime since I have made resolutions but, I think it's time. I think I am going to begin by working on not what I haven't accomplished but what I did find success in, asses those things and prepare to follow up and follow through to completion. I will build on that list and pepper it with new stuff to do that is obtainable for me.
Here are some things that I am going to start on...no order in particular...
- participating in more poetry readings/open mics
- selling my completed (yes, completed) chapbook of poetry
- entering more poetry contests
- pampering myself a little more (lol)
- picking up a few consulting projects
All obtainable, all realistic. I would love to hear from you to see what you have pile on your plate of dreams and goals for 2009. Until then...
Be peace...be love,
Miss Know It All
