Bring on 2011

It's that time again. As January 1st looms near, people are making new year's resolutions and 'promising' to change for the better. I usually refrain from the retrospectives on years past and I'm not a fan of New Year's resolutions. This New Years Eve is different in that it's the end of a decade. Between 2000 and 2010, I've

• graduated from elementary school
• campaigned for the 2000 presidential election
• saw the destruction of the twin towers
• lived through two wars
• graduated from junior high school
• graduated from high school
• entered college

Along the way, I've learned lessons about love, life and myself. Knowing that this is literally just the beginning is both exhilarating and frightening. In just a few short days I'll be turning 22 years old, and should be graduating from college in May. So, I have a few goals that I'd like to accomplish in the next 12 months, and extend into the next few decades:

1. Focus on building my brand and my presence as competition
2. Remember to stay positive, and turn every obstacle into opportunity
3. Stay healthy... physically and mentally
4. Keep all negative influences out of my life. People, places, encounters.

And my dream for you:
May 2011 bring you closer to your goals and further from the negativity


Peace. Love. Passion ♥
