thank you 2008, welcome 2009!

I would like to thank 2008 for bringing so much amazing stuff into my life.  Overall, it has been a great year for me.  Don’t get me wrong, there have been tough times, but I also look at that stuff as being good in the long run.  I mean, I am the girl who has “no regrets” tattooed in kangi on my wrist, believes everything happens for a reason and make a lemons out of lemonade.  Some things I am super grateful for in this last year:

• leaving Los Angeles and everything that goes along with it
• being able to let go of my acting dream to pursue things better suited for me and my future
• getting into UC Berkeley for Psychology
• moving to the Bay Area where the energy is so vibrant and exciting
• making hooping a real part of my life and meeting such amazing people through it
• becoming a part of the HoopGirl world and being inspired by those women daily
• losing weight and feeling better because of hooping
• winning our court case against our landlord, proving that the good guys can win
• being supported by my commercial, allowing me to feel more secure
• Obama
• having an incredible boyfriend through thick and thin
• having an amazing family who rock my world, especially my incredible mother

I really feel as though 2008 was all about moving on and letting go of old dreams, only to allow room for more fulfilling ones.  I have been planting seeds and some of them are already starting to bloom, but I can tell that those seeds will really be rockin’ this year.

Now on to 2009…here are some things I am wanting to manifest:

• more clarity on my educational path about grad school, career options, etc.
• more hooping, yoga, dance to continue down this path of  health and feeling more comfy in my own skin
• blogging/journaling more if it continues to help me grow and connect
• making hooping a bigger income stream…performance, products, etc.
• successful grad school applications in the fall
• more efficient study habits in my classes, continuing to rock the good grades
• my commercial to continue bringing in money and to be renegotiated again in Sept.
• making internet time more efficient with more time for reading delicious books
• less TV time, focusing more on the shows that just float my boat
• getting my website and products established
• eating in a way that is more green and good for the body and soul
• making even more of an impact with the environment, gay rights, animal rights, etc.
• more quality time with my sweet boyfriend and continuing to work on our issues
• being less codependent with my mom and allowing our relationship to continue to blossom
• taking my dogs on adventures more often and playing with my sweet kitties more
• not sweating the small stuff as much and finding more calm, balance and center
• studying and using the the Law of Attraction even more, because it obviously works

Ok I know there are more things, but basically the whole New Year’s Resolution thing is weird for me anyway.  I am more one to reevaluate my goals and intentions on a daily, weekly, monthly basis and find that I am continuing to grow, seek, learn, and evolve all the time.  But it was nice to have an excuse to write these things down…I feel more focused now, and a little overwhelmed…haha.  But I would be bored otherwise, so here goes…
