A toast to 2011

Hey all my Divas and Dons!

I feel so incredibly honored and blessed to have met so many fabulous people throughout 2011; a year filled with new friendships and wonderful memories.

When I embarked on this journey last summer, my goal was to simply step out of my world a bit to see what was actually going on in this amazing world around me. So as I awoke this morning I saw something very interesting on TV that put things in perspective for me. The program was centered on how our minds tend to focus on what is within our immediate vision, and that we easily miss all the things that are going on around us because of this tunnel vision effect… In essence, our perspective is limited by our own vision.

Can you imagine all the things we’ve missed because we didn’t take just a second to stop, to turn around, and see what was going on around us?

What if you looked over your shoulder for a brief moment and noticed something that inspired you so much so that it caused you to reevaluate your life’s direction?

What if tomorrow you took a different route to your destination and realized that on this new route the road seemed to be a bit smoother; the traffic was slightly better and you shaved a few extra minutes off your travel time? Would you go the same route the following day?

So as I toast to all the memories of 2011, I encourage you to not let your dreams be limited to what’s directly in front of you. Take a moment to stop and look around. You just might be inspired! 😉

My goal for 2012 is to continue to enjoy the ride on this new journey. I hope you will join me!
