2013: A Year to Reach for the Stars

I'm excited to say that although I have not posted much in the last little bit that I do have lots coming.  I have been working hard on writing blog entries that really matter and really show a part of myself (as scary as that can be).  One of the things I have been missing most in my life since I lost Will is being able to tell someone everything that is going on in my life.  I have lots of friends who know parts of me but no one knew as much about me as he did and I miss that.  There is nothing like being able to spill your soul and so in the relative anonymity of this blog (even though I know I do have a lot of friends/family that read this) I'm prepared to open up and share.  It is much easier for me to do that in writing than it is to actually do it face to face. 

I know not everyone is interested in all parts of my journey so I'm working on a schedule that will showcase specific parts on specific days, although I hope that anyone that is reading my blog at all will check out all parts.  (Currently I'm planning entries on weight loss, my spirituality, my photography and of course anything else that pops up).  So as February starts I look forward to not only posting more entries here but also getting back into my book reviews on Boxes of Paper.  As I get started with a new focus and routine I will let everyone know what they can expect.  For now though a quick update to get me back on track.

December and January have been busy months for me as they are for a lot of people.  I set some very specific goals for myself for 2013 and have been working to make it all flow together so I can earn each and every one of the goals.  Some of the major ones are to lose 100 pounds this year, to complete my 365 photo a day album, to complete another 50000 word challenge, to learn to take photos manually rather than always using automatic, and to try and push myself out of my comfort zone.  I'm determined to make 2013 the year in which I push the envelope and to really do it, not just say I'm going to do it.  As silly as it sounds I have created detailed goal focused plans to guide me.  I guess all the silly courses they force me to take at work are starting to rub off.  With clear focus and lots of baby steps I will make this year my best year yet.  I invite you all to follow along on this journey.  I have lots to say and as scary as it is I fully plan on sharing it all as best I can.

As always I ask for my readers patience, understanding and support.  I am going to be sharing my ideas, thoughts and beliefs and fully understand they are not for everyone.  I am who I am and it is time to show the world what is hidden inside my brain.  (Wow that sounds way more scary and ominous than it should...hmmm)
