Mighty 2010

12/28/2009

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!

Hey - nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I'm currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?

Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.

The issue that you raised in your blog is really very serious, and most of people lose the quality and integrity of such subjects, when they try to pen it down. But, your job is well done.
