New Year, New me, & New You!

Hey everyone,

I know its been a very long time since I've blogged. But here it goes. With 2011 upon us its the perfect time for change. Not just physical change like keeping your body healthy but keeping your heart and mind healthy as well. I definitely entered the New Year without a lot of the people I had the year before, and while yes, it does "suck". Its the perfect time for me to grow as a person. Everyone needs their independence, especially at the stage I am at in my life right now so I am going to dedicate my time to 3 things this year.

1. Hard-core dedication to what has become a great passion and hobby of mine. Youtube! I really would like to make my videos more engaging, and useful so I will definitely be working extra hard on them and making sure to bring you quality videos. Nothing will be "half-assed" this year.

2. Giving my time. I definitely want to volunteer during my next semester at school. As soon as I get back I will be researching opportunities near campus in which I can give my time. I would really love to work with young girls, sort of like a "big sister" opportunity. Personally, I feel that if we want to see change in our world we need to start with the generations to come. It would be my goal to influence young girls that its okay to be who you are, and to empower them to be strong and independent, capable of doing whatever they set their minds to and instill in them the belief that they can accomplish anything on their own.

3. Lastly, I will continue to follow the path I am paving for myself. I have accomplished so much in the last year that I am using the start of a new year to fuel my ambitions. I want to focus more than ever now on my education. I want to take care of my body, and keep my heart and mind open and optimistic.

With these three goals I have set for myself I hope to make 2011 another very special year. Life is too short to procrastinate. Dreams are free, but you have to pay the price to make them a reality and I am willing to go full-force at all the goals I want to accomplish this year.

I hope that this blog encourages any of you out there reading this. "Its not about the destination, its the journey" so make this journey through life a good one and know that the power is in your hands and that you don't need anyone's help to get where you want to be.

I wish you all the best with your New Years Resolutions and know that I'll be here to encourage any of you if you need it.
