Today is January 1, 2012, the first day of the New Year! Thank God we made it! 2011 was a year of transition, change, and self-discovery. I've learned so much about who I am, and what I want to become. I'm so excited to start this year off on a positive note, and looking forward to what's to come. I'm challenging myself to move outside of my comfort zone, and to really go after my passions and dreams.
I haven't written a blog post in months, and honestly, I can't tell you why. Initially, I decided to write for entertainment purposes and as a way to pass time. But, as I went through various transitions and trials the blog became somewhat of a release. Writing allowed me to share pieces of me with friends, family, and strangers (lol) from afar. And I miss that...so I've decided to give it another go.
I've deleted all of my previous posts, with the exception of the letter I wrote to my nephew after his passing. I've gotten a ton of feedback from friends telling me how much that post helped them deal with their own losses, and that in itself is reason enough to keep it up. Moving forward I'll be writing about things that are meaningful to me...life, love, food, the usual. No gimmicks, just me.
Hopefully, you'll enjoy what you read. But if not, that's perfectly fine. I've grown to learn that people are fickle, times change, and that being liked isn't always important. My opinions and thoughts are just that, mine. Like it or love it, they're here to stay!
Like I said before, I'm looking forward to what 2012 has in store for me...and for you! I'm starting the year off by enjoying a meal of black eyed peas, greens, and baked chicken. Apparently, this is a meal that symbolizes good luck. I don't normally believe in luck, I believe in God :) ...lol. But I'm willing to give it a try. If nothing else, it'll be nutritious and I've finally found a recipe for black eyed peas I can stomach! Progress. Lol.
Cheers to each of you! Wishing you a blessed 2012!!! Stay tuned!
