how are you!?

Hey!
How are things going the first couple days of the year? So far for me they have been great! Still visiting with friends and family members - later holiday parties - but fun nonetheless. My body and mind are definitely feeling ready and excited for the new year!
I have been thinking about what I want to do this year to get myself excited - and I realized I have lots!
I am getting married in 2009! That is something to look forward to! I am also going to be moving to another city where my fiance works and lives. I am really excited for that I love it there.
I am going to run another marathon with Chris this year - in Chicago next October. I am looking forward to that. I loved the run this year in Akron and we promised each other we would do a flat course this time!
As well, I have a focus to meditate 10 minutes a day minimum on my yoga mat while I stretch. That is something I love doing and have always had a greater feeling of wellness and mind-body connection when I take the time to do it....so I want more of that!
I also want to continue my podcasts! I love doing them. They are so much fun for me, because it gives me an outlet to speak about all the readings and learnings I am doing. I love learning, but I love most when what I learn can be of use to others too - so I share it with them.
I look forward to helping out my fiance more with his fundraising for his non-profit commitments, which I genuinely enjoy doing.
I look forward to going away next Christmas - it is our goal to go somewhere warm next year around the holidays. I am not sure where yet though.
I am excited for our honeymoon! That will be a fantastic week long trip with my man, which I will truly enjoy.
One of my goals for 2009 is also to get back into school. I want to study more, learn more, understand more, and I would really relish the opportunity for more personal and knowledge growth. You know when you just don't feel like you are done yet!?
And there are so many other things. Some of my good friends are having babies in 2009 and I look forward to meeting new members of my close friends' families. Lives and love expanding. This is what I truly look forward to for 2009. Lots of love and family and happiness and celebrating times.
Above all.....
Authentic Happiness. That is what I will live each day being. Authentically eager, enthusiastic and happy. Authentically me.
Start dreaming up what 2009 is going to look like for you when you look back on it 1 year from now.
Dream big and don't just try.....DO
Namaste
