Resolutions

The first of the new year is always a great starting point for releasing old patterns or habits that no longer serve and introducing new patterns and habits that work toward the growth and betterment of your life. I just finished taping my radio show for this Saturday, www.easy969.com at 8am. This is the second annual Year End Wrap-up. My good friend and producer, Pam Godfrey and I got to talk about the joys and experiences of this past year and what we have to look forward to in 2008.

As a New Year's tradition, we tend to make resolutions for the upcoming year. My resolution this year is the same as its been the last couple of years. Balance. Since we are always in a state of constant change, we are always needed to find a state of balance. At the start of 2007, my intentions with "balance" was directed toward my need to give myself more "me time" with things that rejuvenated me. 2006 was a very busy year and I knew that 2007 was going to be the same. I needed to find a state of peacefulness in the midst of all my choas.

Thankfully, I found a strong spiritual and meditation practice. I attracted friends who hold those same ideals and principals and developed a very close-knit support group. 2007 was an amazing year with tremendous change and growth.

As I start 2008 with a clearer, more centered and peaceful focus, my resolution of Balance now has a different intention. This year it is my intention to get back the athlete in me that had some time to rest. My body/my soul needed different attention last year. This year I am looking forward to getting back to nature and waking up the animal instincts that have been hibernating. Running, biking and swimming are my new additions. I am fortunate enough to have Kerri in the studio. She has taken the early morning clients and has allowed me to have "my time" in the morning. This year has also brought me a new boyfriend. He is also my partner. We will be doing our morning jaunts together! YEAH! Having someone with you is a real plus! You are more likely to stick to a routine or work-out regimen when you have someone to do it with. For me to be able to share this with my lover, it is just heaven to me.

I have a lot to look forward to this year. A new relationship. A business that is flourishing with more on the horizon. Expanding my healing abilities with a new technique called Lifeline. Many wonderful continuing education seminars with Romana and other pilates masters. Learning to dance and competing in our local, Dancing with our Local Stars. Running for Queen of the Black and White Ball. Going to Tallahassee for Advocay Day for the American Cancer Society. Sitting on the Keys Division Board for ACS. Being heavily involved with GLEE, the EXPO, and the Upper Keys Green Team. And sooo much more. It is truly going to be an exciting and fun filled year. I will also be having lots of fun with friends. AND I plan on traveling a lot too.

I want to wish everyone greatness for the new year. Set your sights high. You can achieve anything you want. With determination, will, and a positive attitude, you can reach the stars. Make sure that you are working for the good of the whole, and that greed and ego are not the underlining reasons for your "goals". Take into consideration our environment and each other. Try to put back in society any abundances that you may have. What you have too much of, someone else is lacking. Keep giving back and giving to others.

With Infinite Love and Gratitude....
