So I thought it might be an interesting challenge to try to publish at least one blog post a week. I got the idea when I received an email from WordPress inviting bloggers to take up a ‘new year’ challenge of blogging every day. Me, I know my limits. Once a week is good.
I was thinking, for me, 2009 was a bit like a river, which emptied into the sea of 2010. I’m pretty sure I know what I mean by that, but I’m not sure what that makes 2011. Doesn’t matter.
What I want from 2011 is adventure, confidence and connection. Again, I think I know what I mean by that. While I ponder the year ahead, have a look at some pretty pictures from a hike I did today with my sister. We hiked the Bear Canyon trail in the Santa Catalina Mountains.
We were in t-shirts, soaking up the desert sunshine. Really, really lovely to find myself exactly where I was (am!).
Next I’m off on a mini tour of the Midwest, where I will reacquaint myself with the concept of cold. Especially on the Chicago leg of my tour. Gives me something to blog about, no? (Later in the month I may well blog about Unemployment Strikes Again, Top Ideas for Getting Out of the House, and 101 Ways to Doctor your CV. But for now, adventure, where I find it.)
If anyone’s reading, what are you hoping for in the year ahead? Please comment if the whim strikes…
I love you, sis! I hope we can both enter this new year with a tidal wave of new inspiration and strength and find out way to where we need to be. Today I feel that I was truly nowhere else than exactly where I was meant to be in that moment, and that was very special. I love you always.
