Well, hello my darlings. It’s been a while since I have graced the pages of my blog. It seems like such a long time since my last post, but yet, time seems to have flown by, and I feel like I’ve hardly had a holiday. However, I shan’t complain, since I’ve had some fabulous times, especially my “once in a blue moon” antics, that signaled in the new year.

I love the division of time. New seasons, new years and new decades, marking checkpoints within ourselves to reevaluate ourselves and where we are going. What we want, what we don’t want and what we need to do to align ourselves with that.

More than ever, I feel I am on the right track. I have discarded the old and spent the past few years laying a foundation in order to build something fabulous upon. This is the year peeps, that I forge ahead to claim all that is mine. As such, I find that all the beautiful people I have around me, are also in the same place. This seems to be the year that dreams are made of.

Maybe this is why I am less inclined to blog about a post Christmas fat crisis, because it seems insignifigant to all that lay ahead. Sure, I’ve consumed by entire body weight in food and liquor over the past month, but it pales in comparison to all the fabulous things ahead for 2010.

I find my focus on getting back in touch with my health being from a position of supporting all the fabulous things I want to achieve, versus worrying about whether I can get back into my skinny jeans – and considering I had to lay on my bed and take a few deep breaths to be able to do them up, this is definitely saying something.

Now, I’m not going to get all pragmatic and boring on you, because, this is simply not me. Instead, I’m just excited about what I feel is going to be a cracker of a year. I will however, go a little reflective on you, because this is what I do best.

I’ve worked hard to get to this point. Yes, I’ve stayed up into the early hours slaving away on my mac, but more importantly, I’ve worked hard on myself. On the important stuff, to build bridges “over emotional troubled waters” – thank you Marie Clare 2010 Libran horoscopes – something I usually poo poo, but this year I find myself lapping up every word of … because I’m like that with horoscopes – if they are good, I’m a believer, but if they’re not, I think they’re a load of crap.

I find myself strong. I know who I am and what I want. I have pulled down the walls that were holding me back, and to anything or anyone who tries to stand in my way, I tell you this. I will be stronger. Nothing is going to rain on my parade.

Wishing you all a cracker of a 2010!
