Well, I'm embarrassed to say that's it's taken me almost three weeks to come out from underneath the holiday madness fog I was in. Even though Joshua and I did not go crazy over his winter break we still did our fair share of making the party rounds, celebrating, going to the movies and theatre, out to dinner etc, etc...
So, here I am trying to figure out what 2013 is going to be like for me...what life I want to CREATE for myself...what life I want to LIVE...what life will bring me the most JOY and sense of PURPOSE (aside from being Joshua's mom!)...these are HUGE questions to ask oneself...and they are questions I have only just begun to delve into.
This is what I do know so far. I am not completely happy with where I am at, personally or professionally. I, at times, give away too much of myself leaving nothing (or little) left to nurture myself and my own dreams/aspirations. My creative/artist soul is in desperate need of a voice again.
I also know that I want to focus more on my new play, "SUGAR & STILETTOS - an obsessive baking odyssey" getting it ready for a table read, workshop production, possible submissions to various festivals and development programs with the ultimate goal of a full production, etc. I want to start working on the SUGAR & STILETTOS Baking book, and a proposal for a SUGAR & STILETTOS television baking show...both major elements in growing the S & S brand...I'd like the Third Annual S & S Bake Sale Extravaganza to be a PHENOMENAL success, really grow this year in amazing ways, financially and awareness wise, getting lots and lots of PRESS...and, oh yeah, I'd like to fall in love again...at least one more time before I leave this planet.
And lastly (for right now) I know that I am incredibly blessed and privileged...that I am completely capable of re-inventing myself...of beginning a new chapter of my life by deciding to create it and then doing just that.
OK, so that's what I know...what I don't know could fill volumes and volumes for sure, but I'm not going to focus on that...I am going to focus on figuring out what I do want and how to create that...knowing that as I work on myself I will become happier and more productive...which is not only better for me it's better for everyone around me...finding a way to be my best self is what the universe is begging me to do...begging you too, by the way...
So, mes belles et mes beaux...WHAT IS YOUR GOAL for 2013? Look inside and discover/re-kindle your dreams and best self...set the world on fire with your passion...and when you have a minute bake a little something...like Zoe Nathan's Whole Wheat Apple Butter Cake...it's a beauty and everyone you share it with will love you even more than they already do!
