Here we are: another year! Amazing. I'm in San Diego with my father and my niece Lisa...enjoying her company. She is an amazing young woman and I love her so much. She's taken an assistant professorship at NSW University in Sydney, Australia. SO BRAVE, so willing to embrace change. Dad is really happy that we are both here, and next weekend my brother John and sis in law Lexi will be here (fleeing Olympic madness in Vancouver).
I hope 2010 is a year of courage, change, and life re-energized. It's been easy for me to just go into "cruise" mode and forget that I still have things I want and need to do; changes to make that require fortitude and persistence. Reader, don't you find that it gets really easy to fill our lives to the brim with "business" (busy-ness!) and forget to work on things that may matter more: love, intellect, art? That's what I find anyway.
My "resolution" (hate em, but there you go) is to find the cojones to work on these things in personal and professional spheres. If this resonates with you, I hope that for you too.

Let me try again. I made too many grammatical errors in the last post...
I meant to say, life often gets too busy for me, too! I have many things that are more important that I want to work on and am hoping for that this year.
Bon courage to you as you go through 2010!
Here, here. :)
(just a note, though...that photo of me HAS to be at least a year old! I had a very odd moment thinking, "Why on earth does my hair look so short?!")
I find it a nearly daily effort not to go into auto-pilot through life. It's just too easy to slip through weekdays into weekends into weekdays. Conscious living is well worth the effort.
All my love!
Life is about the journey, not the destination. I was told this by a good man and mentor.
Maybe more of us should take your niece's initiative.
