Heading Into MY Year

The last post of 2006... I give this year a B. It was a HELL of a lot better than '05, but left a bit to be deisred. Not too complain, though, lest the fates punish me. Overall, a year of growing pains, but I'm left at the end of the year in a happy spot, looking forward with MUCH excitement to what '07 is bringing.

Looking forward to:
New York!!!!
enjoying Austin and my loved ones during the early part of the year
finishing my first play and FINALLY getting done with this book (cross our collective fingers)
my niece celebrating her 3rd birthday in February, her first with her whole family
more challenges that will peel away the old, scared, timid me to make way for more newness
my debut in print: the infamous poetry collection
friends visiting me in New York
more reasons to smile!
new writing projects
taking better care of myself
living somewhere where everyone else's expectations of me are far away

2007 is going to be MY year. I've been on an upward slope since the end of '05 (which, as we all know was SHITTY). The momentum will maintain and I'll be doing great things. I'm more excited than I've been in a long time. Just a few more hours to go and we're on to the next stage...
