I have been meaning to write down all I want to achieve this year: here are some images!
1. The BIGGEST decision of my life potentially but one that makes me excited, tingly and happy 🙂
2. I know I look good but there is something about feeling good- inside and out. I have ignored yoga and my body for ages but this year, I want it to change. It is not just about turning heads when I walk in about doing a double-take everytime I catch a glimpse of me in the mirror! Too vain, perhaps but it’s what I want for me.
3. My blog name says it, my very ethos is about it and I really miss it. I cannot wait to go on a new adventure. I am hoping I don’t have too long a wait.
4. What’s the point of owning a beautiful car like mine if I don’t take it for an adventure- bring on summer, hood down, foot on accelerator and just a weekend of giggles, photography, chats, fun- boyfriend optional 😉 Well, to make it that bit more special, it would be nice to go with him!
5. Goes back to #1. When I start earning, I can start saving. It’s a vicious circle.
6. With the changes coming my way, with the roller-coaster I have been through in the past few months, with the decisions I have made in the past few years, I have forgotten myself- my values have remained, I have adapted but I have not always been honest to myself- this year, I find myself again.
Honestly, I am not even sure what this means but it sounds AWESOME and so I am somehow gonna define it this year for myself and make it happen!
And when I find myself, define magic for myself, I can be who I want to be- again. It is time to reinvent myself.
7. Have fun, live life, be happy
So what if this is my last moment on earth- as I have said, I would rather die doing something fun and memorable than sick and bored…
Part of finding myself is to accept myself too!
This means finding a different type of strength, maybe not so unladylike though:
AND confidence- the confidence to be me!
And now that I have begun the process of finding inner peace, I hope to always
8. While finding my new strengths, I shouldn’t forget the old ones in my life:
I am SO SO SO SO SO lucky to have the people I have in my life- thank you! If I am cranky, if I am tired, if I am insufferable over the next while- forgive me and keep giving me the strength!
And why wait to find a mistletoe… 😉
A hard call- I do know this is always tough to judge and very intangible but I really hope to achieve it the best I can:
9. Something small, something materialistic and something that makes me smile: I am going to own my own Loubotins by the end of 2012!
10. A full bar to me symbolises friends coming in, good times, the ability to afford the finer things and a sign of laughs and memories that have been shared and that will be created 🙂
And no point of drink, without some food, esp exotic food- nom nom nom!
11. I also want to read more, write more, see more plays, have more laughs, explore more and just let the year be the year of awesome!
2012: the year of living, the year of dreams and the year of living my dreams! 🙂
So…
Joy of Traveling's Diaries... 
For some these goals or dreams would seem hard but they are all easily acheivable. This is something that should be spread to everyone and hopefully something within them will allow them to unlock a new world that resides within them and right out their backdoor. Thank you for sharing your goals.
Thanks Cori for your words- nothing in my dreams is striving for much yet it pushes the boundaries that little bit and allows more of the magic to happen, I hope- cos it’s the years of dreams coming true 🙂
As Steve Jobs said:
“you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.” This is my year of belief.
Totally gorgeous!
Thank you! 🙂
