Welcome 2011

Emerging...........2010 has finally gone and welcome 2011!

Were still in the beginning of january and already good things are beginning to happen in my life and so I am smiling from ear to ear. I dont really celebrate the new years how many do, I stay away from the parties, drinking and dancing. I tend to have the day to myself to reflect on the last year. Well what can I say but in the space of a year I have grown so much and I am very proud of my accomplishments within my own self development. I have learnt so much about myself as a person and have managed to see what next steps I can take in the new year to progress with my development. Looking back at last years vision board I did manage to achieve most of my goals, the ones I did not achieve was simply because they were not realistic.

So this new years I decided to work on a new vision board which is very realistic and I believe to be achievable within the year. I also purchased a new journal to write out my daily thoughts, opinions and realisations within my life so that I have something to always look back on and see my progression. I then wrote out a list of goals and to my amazement I have achieved 2 of those goals already!

This year I have chosen to learn how to be more responsible and independant. I have always had the support of my family which is great but at the same time it hasnt really helped me be mainly responsible for certain tasks or do things on my own. Ive always had someones opinion or advice or somehow ended up doing what others wanted me to do. So I feel now is the time to learn a bit more about being an adult and learning how to manage new life skills on my own. I want to be in the kitchen more learning how to cook new foods, I want to learn how to manage money properly and be able to look after myself and others. I want to be able to make my own decisions on certain things. So this is what I am working on for this year.

Every month I shall dedicate myself to a life project and so Januarys project is redecorating and revamping. This week I have had the decoraters over and they are painting the house and so the house looks like a walk in storage! but once the place is all painted I can start sorting my things properly. I think its about time the house was decluttered and revamped, my room especially! I have let go of my wardrobes, dressing mirror, some clothing and I am changing the whole look of my room which works with my personality. The money that has been dished out for this project is A LOT but I believe the end result makes it worth it and so Im looking forward to the outcome.

My house is not the only thing that needs revamping I DO!, I have decided to change my look as I find I am growing more in to the woman I have always wanted to be and the way I once dressed or had my hair is not really my style anymore. So I am planning on adjusting things in my wardrobe making a few small changes here and there, changing my hair style, changing my style of make up although I dont really wear make up unless I am going out somewhere special. So for me personally this month will be a very interesting and exciting!

I also celebrated my birthday which was very different to what I normally do and the way I celebrated it this year I really enjoyed. I kept it very simple but sweet, I stayed at home with the family having a good chit chat and ordered thai food. The food was lovely and the time spent with my family was really enjoyable. 1 thing I am not really keen on is organising events and so I decided to just do something vesry basic with the family but that something basic ended up being one of the best birthdays I have ever had. The messages and well wishes I recieved from family, friends and aquaintances by phone, social network sites and emails were really appreciated and I feel blessed that people took some time out of their day to think about me. I am so grateful for all the love I recieved and I am going to continue to enjoy this month.

My 2011 affirmation: “I believe and have faith in myself and my God. Everything is going extremely well in my life and my world.” “I can and will achieve my every goal I have set within my life!”
