Past Year's Resolutions: 2016

What did I accomplish this year?

Every year I ask myself this question and make my retrospective resolutions for the year.  Hindsight is 20/20.  I think it is much more uplifting to reflect and think, "Wow- I did that!" than to think, "I didn't meet two of my ten goals.  I'm a failure." I always push myself as much as possible towards work I love and then let the universe fill in the blanks. 

In no particular order:

1. Perform in "Beauty and the Beast" at Hale Centre Theatre as Silly Girl 1.  Life Changing.  Words are not adequate.

Past Year's Resolutions: 2014

What did I accomplish this year?

Every year I ask myself this question and make my retrospective resolutions for the year.  Hindsight is 20/20.  And I think it is much more uplifting to reflect and think, "Wow- I did that!" than to think, "I didn't meet two of my ten goals.  I'm a failure."  Know what I'm saying?

Past Year's Resolutions: 2013

What did I accomplish this year?

Every year I ask myself this question and make my retrospective resolutions for the year.  Hindsight is 20/20.  And I think it is much more uplifting to reflect and think, "Wow- I did that!" than to think, "I didn't meet two of my ten goals.  I'm a failure."  Know what I'm saying?  

In no particular order:

1. Get engaged
2. Get MARRIED!!!!  And consequently have many, many celebrations of a lifetime and feelings of love, joy, and all things overwhelming that I cannot possibly describe

12. Quit my stable, well-benefited job of nearly six years to work with my husband on his business, Life of the Party Entertainment - big, fat, huge, crazy leap of faith! But maybe not that crazy - I made sure to have at least one year's worth of living expenses saved before I took that jump.
