Today we slip our feet into these Christian Louboutin signature red-bottomed heels as these would be the perfect New Year’s accessory.
As we pack up our Christmas trees, throw away the shredded tissue & wrapping paper, and find room for all of our new gifts, we move onto the next approaching holiday…New Years. Automatically, we’re suppose to shift gears as the hands of time strike midnight on December 25th. Once it’s officially December 26th Christmas becomes a distant memory, and we then spend the next six days trying to find a hot outfit to wear, finalize plans for the best parties in town, fantasize about who we’ll kiss at the stroke of midnight, and prepare for our New Year’s resolutions. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing on my last day of 2012, what I’ll wear, who I’ll kiss at the turn of yet another year, or even if I’ll do anything at all. This is what I do know ~ my aspirations for the upcoming year.
This new year for me inspires a great deal of hope, faith, trust, diligence, perseverance, courage, audacious decisions, and strength. I hope and pray that I can achieve everything that I have planned for myself in this upcoming year as I plan to push myself to exceed my goals that I have set. I have faith in myself, and God that I can successfully pull through the remaining obstacles that I must face to finish this phase of my journey. I must trust in myself and my abilities to make the right decisions and to also stop second guessing myself. I need to trust my instincts more and follow them, instead of dismissing them. I must practice great diligence in carefully executing my plan of action and the perseverance to see it through. The courage to stand up for myself and to face whatever challenges come my way to ultimately get what I want. The audacious decisions to help catapult me forward with my business and to move past the complacent nature that I have with my current job. And the strength to face my fears head on with an immense amount of grace and poise.
When I sat down and really thought about all that I wanted to achieve in one year’s time, I smiled and thought – “Wow, when will I have time for breathe!” There are so many things that I want to achieve, but when it really comes down to it, my priorities are set in stone. I will hit my goal weight this year. There is not a single ounce of doubt in my mind as I make this bold statement. By this time next year, I will be at my goal weight and I will feel & look fabulous! I am excited to transform myself in such a life-altering way. And I am even more excited to meet the stunning & healthy lady that I will become.
I will also take my business to the next level. I am still at the beginning phases of this career journey, but I am having a blast! I am meeting new people, I get to make wine charms every day, which is amazing in itself, and I get to use my fashion marketing degree that I worked so hard to obtain. I have wanted my own business since i was fourteen years old, and it is finally starting to happen!
And finally, I want the sparkle back in my eyes as I have previously stated in past blogs. I want to take random adventures, meet new people, possibly fall in-love, and just be happy. I’m going to keep an open mind, and an open heart in 2013 and see what fate has in-store for me. I am so close to having the start of everything that I have ever wanted and it’s just as exciting as opening the best present ever. The anticipation builds up and the excitement is almost unbearable! I feel like my life is finally about to start. No more auto-pilot, or waiting for life to happen. I am standing here in my faceted silver platforms with bright red bottoms in a sea of mundane people wearing snickers ready to kick some a$$ with my bold moves.
As for Weight Watchers, I still have not made a definitive answer as this is a very tough decision and I’m not gonna lie, Christmas completely monopolized my time. Now that it is past midnight, and we are officially on December 26th, I can now focus on making my decision pertaining to WW. I will post next week in my blog what that decision is. I still haven’t weighed-in yet, so no progress to report, but that will change soon my readers I assure you.
I thought this quote was fantastic! “Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.” ~ Helen Keller.
As we slip off our bold, red-bottomed plats we must remember to still stand out in the sea of normalcy and complacency, to fight for what we want, no matter what others may think. To stand strong and fight for our convictions and strive to achieve our goals.
