New Year, New YOU!

Okay, so officially it has been 6 months since I have written one single word. I am ashamed. However, like a lot of you, I have been journaling! So there. That counts, right?

Anywho, I am feeling back to writing publicly again. Lots has changed within the last 6 months. I have experienced some exuberant times, heartache, and I think I reached my lowest point I have ever reached in my life. In short, and there is more to come later, I have been on life's great rollercoaster. But now, it's a new year and a new, fresh start. I'm excited! I am finally getting to close some major chapters in my life. I refuse to reopen some parts of my past "book" and am looking forward to seeing what 2010 brings.

So, what in the world has happened in the last 6 months?

1. I had open heart surgery! (Yeah, the crack your chest open kind)

2. I got a divorce. (Not a bad thing, and he is still a friend...I will not bash him or his family, so don't ask!)

3. Do we really need a numero 3?

Yeah, that's enough to talk about there. But for now, I am going to focus on the positive. That's all I know to do. One thing is for sure: my family and my friends have been the best family and friends I could ask for. I wouldn't know what to do without my mama. Lord, she is my rock! (Thank you mama!)

I'll update with the story of the heart surgery my next post, and will diverge some really hillarious stories there. I also have pictures that I might post as well, so for those that are faint of heart or just don't want to see blood, you might want to skip that blog.

So, being the new year and all, I have decided to not set any resolutions. I know my resolve is strong, and therefore I am committing myself to the following:

1. Live life! (it's too short, and trust me I know!)
2. Love often and without hesitation.
3. Cook organically.
4. Learn to play the guitar.
5. Travel more.
6. Get Healthy
7. Take ballroom/salsa/bellydancing lessons.
8. Stay focused.
9. Join a softball team
10. Rinse, Wash, Repeat.

Here's to a great 2010!
