In 2007

I suppose that although by now, you've heard it a bunch of times, it is still appropriate for me to say Happy New Years everyone!
I am happy to be in yet another year. The year 2006 tried in so many ways to steal from me...my joy, creativity, hope, perseeverence, patience, my life. BUT...it did not win!

I don't know what to expect this year, but I anticipate that better things areahead. So, rather than making a list of things I plan to do in 2007, I have decided to make a list of the things that I did in 2006. I've heard it said many, many times before that if you do the same things, you are assured to get the same results. I want different results in my life, so that calls for an assesment of me, my choices, attitudes, practices, and company. I think that's where change starts.

Good news is, the kids and I are finally at "home." I didn't have to have Christmas on the floor and furnishing my home is coming along...slowly but surely. Still I have a place to be, that's great. I have two new real estate clients and I am really focused on using my knowledge in real estate in other ways that aren't so coventional, or dependent on someone wanting to buy and sell with me as their agent.

I never thought or stayed inside of the box,living what others might describe as risky. I don't see it that way though...I live by faith. I see things differently. People all around me talk about what's logical, what makes sense, what's gonna work...and a part of me agrees but a deeper urging makes me stand my ground despite the disapproving stares and comments.

It has paid off in the past and I anticipate even greater returns.
So...in 2007, I don't want to do the same or expected things that I've done in the past. I'm looking forward...and meeting Ruben Studdard, who knows??
It could happen. :)
