Happy New Year everyone and I can’t believe that it’s finally here! On our drive home last night, I told Helen about my childhood growing up and how I pictured the “future” to be different. Now this is going back in the late 80’s and I was a kid, so excuse my fantasy world a bit. 2010 for me, growing up watching The Jetsons, was how I pictured the future. I figured by the time it’s 2010 we’d all be living in houses on polls and driving flying cars. And yes I had a normal childhood if you’re wondering. Where is this all going? I have no idea, but I just wanted to share with you a bit of my randomness that Helen gets to enjoy on a daily basis.

Ok getting back to the New Year. I’m not a fan of the whole resolution thing, so I’m not going to commit to any right now. I do however set goals for myself that I have neatly tucked away in a filing cabinet. Yes that’s right, in a filing cabinet! During the last week of 2008, I sat down for a few hours and reflected on things that I need to realistically accomplish for 2009. I say realistically because setting unrealistic goals, like winning the lottery, seems to a bit of a stretch for me. Here are some goals that I do plan on meeting for now and I’ll be adding more in the days to come. These goals are not just business related but also personal goals. Also, just to make sure I stay on top of things, I added this post to the “LINKS” tab up top.

There’s something so calming about drinking great tea. Helen says that I enjoy it more now because I’m getting older. I’m only in my late 20’s, so I don’t think I’m that old, plus what’s with the stereotype that older people drink tea? As a matter of fact, I’ve been drinking tea since I can remember and we always keep our place stocked with all kinds of tea. When there’s time, of course I drink the great tea’s, you know the ones that actually don’t come in tea bags. But when I need a quick fix of relaxation, I turn to Tazo for my fixes. I find it funny that depending on how I’m feeling that day, will help me decide on which tea to drink. Do you think that we can know how someone is feeling by the tea they drink? or maybe the type of tea really does say what kind of person you are. Who knows, but there’s probably a study out there that exists. Right now while I’m typing away at this post, I’m enjoying “Zen” Green Tea and trying to think about why I picked it today… hmmm..

Well it’s finally here! A time to get together with friends and family and eat, eat, eat.. well that’s what we’ll be doing anyways and watching a ton of movies. I had such a fun year meeting new people and loving life! I want to thank all of my past, present and future clients for making this year super fantastic! I hope that makes sense, but this time of year I always feel extra appreciative. Happy Holidays everyone!!

I always feel dorky in photos, I don’t know why.
