I would like to welcome you to my blog! (whoever "you" might be) :)
Lately I have been doing the "30 Days of Pictures" on Facebook and I have quite enjoyed it although it is also a tad narcissistic!
It did get me thinking though, what if people actually were interested in stuff I have to say? I want to be a writer so badly but my biggest road block has been putting myself out there and what, maybe be judged? Criticized? You know what, so what? This is my dream and I feel it is what I should be doing so I need to get on with it and I think this is a great stepping stone to see if well, I am at all relevant! I will never know if I don't try right!?
So here I am!
Holy shit...now what?? ;)
So it is New Year's Day..January 1st, 2011! How the heck did we get here? Where has the last year gone? What did I do? Did I accomplish anything? Where do I go from here?
Okay, deep breath! Every year gives us something to take into the next. Whether it be something to learn from, improve on or something to get rid of completely (maybe a bad habit such as ya know, eating peanut butter out of the jar by the spoonful? It isn't helping anyone, put down the spoon!!)
I am not much into New Year's "resolutions". I mean I respect people who choose to use the new year as a jump start but in the grand scheme of things, we should be working on evolving all the time, making life style changes or see friends all throughout the year, not just call on it when it is expected or contrived. If there are improvements to be made, make them in June if needed, don't wait six months to make it an official resolution, life is far too short and six months is far too long to wait!
As for me, 2011 is going to be a monster year in a good way!!
I am going on a cruise in May, to Toronto to see NKOTBSB (holy shit, my 14 year old self squeals every time I say it..or errr type it) in June, I am in a wedding of a wonderful friend in July, I am in well MY WEDDING in August and we will also go on a trip down south a few months later...
This means a few things...a) 2011 is going to be AMAZING, b) lots to look forward to and then there is c)...damn you c).
C)...work out like a crazy person and eat cleanly
Now how does c) differ from the month of December, 2010? In every possible way!!! I did work out but eating cleanly...well, the plates and utensils I used were clean but that is as far as the clean goes!!
So for me, January does not bring resolutions because I already lead a mostly healthy lifestyle...for me it means steering my car back on the road and doing a bit of an overhaul to prepare for what is ahead.
January 4th I am starting a Master Cleanse which I will (hopefully) do for 10 days, no food...now THAT should make for some interesting posts. :)
Until next time....xx
2011 is going to be a huge year for you! I don't believe in New Year's resolutions either, though for the past few years, I have been in the habit of making a "to do" list of things I'd like to accomplish in the year ahead instead of resolutions. Sometimes they get done, sometimes they don't, and that's OK (eg, last year I wanted to have a weekend by myself in Jasper to just take photos and do yoga...that weekend did indeed happen, but yoga got put on the back burner because I couldn't stop taking photos!). I hope you don't put too much pressure on yourself about working out and eating clean this year...I'm sure the wedding inevitably puts pressure on, but Pete asked you because he loves you for you, and your habits/lifestyle are already pretty amazing in those areas. Love you! PS - NKOTBSB!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read your blog! I hope it gives me inspiration to complete my goals as well :) What kind of writer do you wanna be when you grow up? Smut? History? News? Celebrity News? Any clues? lol I like Smut so I would probably read that if you wrote it lol Hope 2011 is a great year to you & your family. Looking forward to travelling with you on your journeys (through your photos lol) Can't wait to see your wedding & all your other trips you will be taking. I'm getting excited to think about it hehehe.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting started. So proud of you! Can't wait to read more. :)
PS. We should try to meet sometime you're in Europe!
Loved the blog Meggan! :0) I plan to be a loyal reader....I put down the spoon thanks to you and your blog!!! This will have to do, as our saturday morning starbucks date until I can get back home!! Miss you sooo much!!
ReplyDeleteSounds exciting!!! good luck! I love writing my blog when I'm doing it... lately I've been more off than on, but it's always tehre to go back to. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMeggan-congratulations! A "wannabe" authour no-more...this blog makes it so! Never worry about being "relevant". If you feel you have something important to share then you can believe there is someone waiting (and needing) to hear what you have to say.
ReplyDeleteOur dreams and aspirations don't lie to us. So if being an authour is your dream, you are well-equipped to make that a reality! And as far as being "judged"-I have heard it said that no one has ever erected a statue in honour of a critic; but in honour of someone who stepped outside of their comfort zone and shared their passion with the world? Well, I'm sure you've seen their statues.
I'll be following. Looks like 2011 is a big year!:0)

Bookmarked and sitting in for the long haul!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're finally jumping into this Meggan, shoot for the moon and you'll at least land among the stars. :)
