Back on the bike

I can honestly say as 2011 comes rapidly towards the new year, and I know, it’s frightening to even utter those words, new year, (but I personally can’t wait for the next one)…that I am looking forward to new chapters.

This funny old year has been full of the most intense challenges, dramas, highs, lows and all things in between, that I am frankly ready for the next one.

And that’s not to say that as I type I am not feeling more zen and together and philosophical than previous typing sessions… I am content in myself and excited about the future, which is why I need to share something I’d forgotten...

You see in all the busy-ness of life, I’ve been living in the moment so deeply, that I’ve forgotten the importance of forward planning.

Having things to look forward to, events, and social get togethers, dreams to work towards and projects, it’s the magic that drives you onwards isn’t it?  But I’d totally forgotten that.

There was a time last year where I was driving so hard to get this gorgeous website up and running (and yes, I am biased) that I was driven with a passion I’d never known.

And then the dream was attained, a few spanners flew into the personal works and I seemed to sit like a petulant child who had fallen off her bike, and didn’t know how to get going again.

So busy was I staring at my wounds that I forgot you have to keep riding forward.

And so, I have decided to end 2011 early and begin again right now.

I’m going to write a list of new dreams and plans and start working on making them happen.

Back on the bike and down a steep hill with the wind in my hair… I’m going to stop peddling so hard and just see where the ride takes me!!
