It's a New Year!

It’s that time again, to make resolutions and start afresh!

To unwrap the new you and show them who’s the best!

It’s 2014, there’s no time to rest!

Yeah! Yeah! I know I’m late but it’s only 15 days into the New Year and I’ve only just found the time to write. 2014 has brought along a few new activities and responsibilities on my side thus threatening my writing time. However I’m not complaining considering the frustratingly excessive amount of time I had on my hands in 2013.

Many of the plans I had had for 2013 sort of found their way out of my hands and eventually fell to the ground, leaving me with very little control over the entire situation. Thus I had a lot of time on my hands but nothing to get my hands on. Fortunately, for myself and the people around me I’m somewhat of a positive thinker (or that’s what I like to believe). I found a little consolation in the phrase ‘your twenties are for self-discovery’ and sometimes welcomed my unplanned plans with opened arms, at other times I punched it in the face and hoped to beat it to death. In the end I won! It was a difficult fight but I won!

I was forced to work with what I had and to adapt as I went along. I learned a lot about myself along the way and spent many hours baking, decorating (cards, gift boxes, book covers) and writing (all served as therapy). During this time I also started my first blog, which I’m very proud of. I learned to drive and got my first car.

I’m quite certain that 2014 has a lot more in store for me and I’m excited! I’m most excited about the fact that I can make a fresh start. It's like getting a crisp, white sheet of paper at the end of your exam to correct all the scratches you've made. It’s a second chance, every year! You gotta love that!

My goal for 2014 is to work harder and give my 110% in everything I do…and maybe read a few classics. Books I’ve read last year include This Way Up by Paige Nick, The Boy Who Could See Demons by Carolyn Jess-Cooke and Drug Muled by Joanne Joseph.

May 2014 bring all that you've worked for ;)
