Operation AWESOME!

Here I AM! Since Christmas I have been pretty low tech. Taking time to hang out with my fabulous family and enjoying the winter break.

Once the kids were back in school… OPERATION AWESOME is underway. Basically it is my multi point resolution to be a better me. As so many people do this time of year… I have chosen a “word”… BALANCE. I have chosen this word before, and quite honestly failed at attaning anything that even slightly resembles it. This year I am hoping it will be different. The big thing is that my mindset is different. My goals are about long term improvement. So rather than simply losing weight – I am resolving to get healthy. I have set some ambitious goals for my professional life, which in the past felt like I was working against balance. But the reality is that “balance” is different for everyone. I am a single mother of three awesome and active daughters. So what balance means to our family will be different than what it may be for yours.

Other resolutions revolve around enjoying life a little more. Taking time to soak in the little moments that are so easily missed in a crazy busy life.

To be better equipped to make these goals and such… step one is operation organization, leaving my studio for last.( Of course I will share the journey once I get to it. ) And getting each room in the house clean has left little time for anything else.

Phew. So let the journey begin… and I wish you well on what ever journey you are embarking on yourself!

In short…

    Wishing you a healthy, happy 2011. :) Looking forward to your Roundtable visits this year, which I hope will be numerous. :)

    My one little word is “live.” Its meaning to me is twofold: I know some people who are in poor health, so it reminds me to be grateful. Also, I need to remind myself to get out of the house and make the memories, instead of just scrapbooking the old ones.

    You are amazing! I am thinking maybe next year I will try the one little word. I thought about it most of December, but nothing came to me and then I found Marion Smith’s 31/31/31 challenge so I stopped trying to think of a word and latched on to this challenge in hopes it would bring me some renewed mojo, which it totally did and for that I am most thankful. Hoping to hear you on the rt soon because I need to hear your laugh, I guess I could go back a few episodes, but I want fresh laughter (LOL). I wonder if you have a special vaccuum for all the glitter at your house. I LOVE IT!! Don’t stop bedazzling everything. Your projects make me smile. Best wishes for 2011!
