A new year and many many resolutions.. The obvious one most of us abide by; Stop eating and drinking in excess, get healthy and go to bed before midnight!! Ooooh, but how I wouldn’t swap those extra two kilos for the great times we had, good friends, (underline bold italic) the cheese and pate, the ‘wet my pants’ belly laughs, the cheese and pate, the twilight swimming in the backyard pool, the reminiscing, and of course..the cheese and pate. Hmmmmm get healthy is definitely new years reso numero uno! Oh bugger, last year I was going to learn Italian. Doh.
Secondly , a time to reflect. 2011. What a Crazy, Hazy, Hectic year. Many changes, many highs, a couple of lows... But for every valley there is a peak which we continue to keep pushing for. My biggest step was leaving my lovely safe studio I was working for to go out on my own. A daunting time, but one of so much challenge and reward.. And fun!!! Finally being able to go out and shoot portraits, sharing happiness, seeing smiles and cuddles, finally realising this is what I LOVE!!
So visitors we had, I said goodbye to my beautiful friends, sobbing and hugging. They live far away and we don’t see each other often, the true friends, those of the ’un-fair-weathersome-ness’ the ones that tell me when I have mud on my face, the ones that promise to tell me when its time to start waxing my brow..the ones that are as fabulous as me at 2am! I reflect on the year ahead.
So my new year quote de jour’..
”Be who you are & say what you feel. Because those who mind don’t matter, those who matter don’t mind” you will never know your true ability if you let people hold you back. Never judge others, and always remember ugliness in your heart will be seen on your face!! (god I can’t afford botox!)
so heres to the tincy freckles on little noses and to happiness. Find the love people..HNY Dream big xt
