"Don't ever empty the bucket of mystery. Never let people define what you do. It's not about zigging when you should zag. It's not about doing something unprecedented and unpredictable. It's just about never being a word, or something that is not in the process of transformation."
-Marilyn Manson

A Few of My Resolutions For 2013

Yes, I'm one of those optimistic people who makes a laundry list of resolutions each year. Some attempts are more successful than others but I do try. Because my birthday is exactly one month after New Year's Day, I definitely feel like it's an opportunity for a fresh start. I like to use January as a warm up to the actual start of my new year which technically starts for me on my birthday, February 1. That's the way I've always liked to look at it. Some of the things I'm working on for my 27th year in 2013...

• Write more- books, screenplays, blogs, articles, personal journals...
• Regularly use my elliptical machine and go to the park when it's nice
• Be more social and strengthen my friendships and relationships
• Maintain my skincare routine 
• Dress up more often
• Get a new car
• Enjoy the people and things I love
• Organize- donate/sell/throw out what I no longer need
• Redecorate my room/closet/den
• Travel whenever possible
• Make memories
• Kiss someone I really like (don't laugh)
• Take pictures (finally get an iPhone)
• Continue to study Tarot and Astrology
• Continue to learn new things
• Read more books
• Focus on my career

Happy New Year!

I am so happy that 2011 is here! I'll be turning 25 in exactly one month. Because I was born early in the year, I always feel like new year's day comes at the perfect time! It is an opportunity to put the past behind you and look forward to a new year of opportunities to make your life what you want.

I had the pleasure of going to a beautiful wedding last night- I think I want to get married on New Year's Eve! I always said I wanted a fall wedding because it is my favorite time of the year (my parents were married in October) but there is something magical about saying "I Do" on one of the wildest nights of the year. That's a long time down the road, though. I need to find a boyfriend first, lol. Although I did get a "proposal" last night, haha! I missed the bouquet toss but my sister caught it! She's also single. So who knows what can happen in a year's time?

Back to the upcoming 2-5! I'm sure as a little girl if I could have seen myself at 25 I would be surprised. You have a different perspective on age when you are younger. I probably thought I'd be married and planning kids- haha! For some people this is the perfect age but I know I have a lot of life to experience and things to learn before I'm ready for that.

One thing I know I want for myself this year is to follow my dreams and live up to my full potential in all aspects of my life. I want to lead a healthier lifestyle- physically and mentally. I am going to write my book and find a literary agent who will help me get it published and turn it into a best seller! I want to be a better daughter, sister and friend. I want to keep this blog updated on all things I enjoy and start vlogging on YouTube to build a following of potential readers of my book.

I want 2011 to be a monumental year for me (and I know it can be)! I want to look back a year from now and be proud of my efforts and know that I am living the life I envisioned for myself as a little girl. We have one chance to make our dreams come true and I know 25 will be the year mine start to come together!

I hope that anyone who reads this post is following all the dreams they have for themselves! May 2011 bring you health, happiness and success :)

Love,
Krista
