Welcome 2011

31 December seems to go hand in hand with pressure to finish off the outstanding niggling tasks, clean the house, better yourself, and do everything that we "should" be doing.

I decided a while ago that I wouldn't make new year's resolutions, because if I really want to do it, I would rather just start now, but this year is slightly different - mainly because I have been toying with the concept for a little while, and because I believe that it is a necessary step to getting closer to my ultimate goals.

So, in the spirit of the season, I've cleaned the house, organised the paperwork, changed the linen and planted some seeds in the garden. Having a 2-year old pretty much nixes my party plans for the evening, which is just fine - I don't like travelling on New Year's Eve. I have a bottle of champagne to share with my husband later and my new year's resolution is (*drum roll please*) to step out of my comfort zone.

I intend to stretch my comfort levels this year and just put myself out there. I don't really mind about the outcomes, so long as I practice being in situations that are going to encourage growth.
So, whether you are a believer in NY Resolutions, or prefer not to commit yourself to a resolution, I wish you a fantastic 2011.. with love, laughter, fabulous people, and enough growth opportunities to keep you stimulated and engaged!

Quoting Oprah Winfrey: ‎"Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right."

Happy 2011!
