Mighty 2010

So here I sit, reflecting on the year that is just about gone, and anticipating the one about to begin.  Like most years, 2009 has been one filled with incredible joy, notable sadness, and lots of amazing little moments.  Most of all for me, it was the year that I finally started living the life of my dreams.  Don't get me wrong...I have enjoyed every moment of raising my children and doing all of the things that have led me to this point.  But, long long ago I had a dream of the kind of life I really wanted to lead.  It wasn't really possible to do when I was young, because there was so much else to do.  I married very young (We will celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary next week!) and had 2 kids very quickly.  I finished several degrees, taught special education, traveled the globe through a fabulous job for 10 years, opened a school, and published a book.  And while all of these things were fun and fulfilling, I knew I wasn't exactly where I should be.  So, finally in 2009, I took a big leap of faith and moved to New York City.  I had to come alone at first, without my husband or a job.  Many people helped me to make this big transition, which is still not fully complete.  But...I am living the life of my dreams, and I have to say that it has far exceeded all of my expectations.  What I have learned from this experience is that dreams are very powerful.  Sometimes they take over 30 years to come true.  But if you keep them in your sights, and keep moving toward them, they will eventually come true.  The amazing part is that life is so much easier when you just give in and move toward your dreams.


Make 2010 the mightiest year ever by following your own dreams!
