2010 is coming to a close, this year has been incredible. I am so grateful for all the opportunities that made me grow into a better person and also to help me realize this is my calling, this is what I am meant to do in life.
This December has been a month of rest and solitude. I have taken time to reflect and simply enjoy the routines of life. It's been great, but I can't wait to get back into the gist of things and I am going to be so run down and tired, but at least I know I would have a smile on my face at the end of the exhausting week.
I've so far written my 'resolutions', I call it a to do list because resolutions are things I usually forget to keep but a to-do list seems more urgent, thus so far, this is my list. It's simple, efficient and achievable. 2011 is such an exciting time for me, i look forward to it greatly.
2011 to do list (pending)
- Submit to the annual National Geographic Photography Contest
- submit to World Nomads Photography Travel Scholarship.

Happy new year! You've got a lot of goals... it's inspiring really. I think I really need to build up on motivating myself too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all your goals! Hmm, also, if you want, I could help you with your website. If you want. =) Seeing how motivated you are, and how I am very much less ambitious than you are, maybe I can help! Let me know if you're interested k.
In another note, I'll be in melb in less than 2 months. I'll see you then ok! Hugs!
