New Year

This Year's Resolutions:

Engage and Initiate

Inspired by this quote from Maya Angelou

“Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you've got. Love it with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.” 
― Maya Angelou

I also just finished reading the book "Poke the Box" by Seth Godin.

So what exactly do "Engage" and "Initiate" mean to me?

This year will mark my first year as a mom.  I am so excited to welcome our little baby into the world in April.  I really want this to be the year that I reach out into the world and discover what is out there for me.  I have a tendency to coast through lots of areas in my life in order to avoid failure or disappointment or embarrassment.  Sometimes the most difficult thing is to just take the first step.  In something.  Anything.

So, that is a totally broad overview, but luckily, I have an entire year to hammer out the specifics.
