Happy 2017, Everyone!

It's a New Year to start again... It's never too late to start ANYTHING again!  Start on any day is a good day.  I love the beginning of a new year, full of hopes, dreams and making lists...

First and foremost, I am so grateful for all my 2016 lessons, blessings and my ongoing challenges that I get to try again and/or try something totally new in 2017.

I am talking about New Year's Resolutions, of course! So what's yours?... start write them down.

My list is getting longer by the day and its only 10 days into 2017! So, knowing my ADHD personality, I have to limit to 5 things:

Five in 2017...
1. Embracing being 50 & Fabulous and being grounded.  JUST BE MYSELF. This is a full-time adventure all in itself to refine, to create and to make more JOY in my life in every aspect of my life.
2. Get back to the GYM after a year OFF! Yes, a year! You read it correctly.
3. Starting to BLOG again after 5 years of being absence. I am curious what will be my own thoughts to write about as I am living through my 50s.
4. Working on a successful financial avenue that actually take off this year and earn an income after 15 years of being a supportive, stay at home spouse.
5. Learn how to play the piano!

Lets take #1 today...
For me, embracing being 50 is HUGE! It's a big deal for me since I don't look or feel or ready to be 50 but I have no choice in this matter. Yet, I have experienced life long enough & I've earned the 50 years "badge" to be free, more brave, bold and need no permission to LIVE my life in my next 50 years as I define it. Life is moving too fast so I am taking advantage of being totally liberated to LIVE ON fully! BUT first... I am slowing  down to be kind to myself to simply feel grounded to stay put in one location. This happens to be NC for us. In the past, my husband & I  have been "on the go" so much between 3-4 states for his corporate career that I lost a sense of belonging... belong to a home, to a community, to a group of friends and even to having my own daily routine!
I am today slowing down to speed of my own life tempo!... to write this blog...

We all are at different stages in life so your list should reflect what makes YOU happy! ....with total FREEDOM and without the fear of judgements from your spouse, friends & family and especially not based on the hype or pressure of any social media images to just look good for others and not being true to yourself.

There is a saying:
CHOICE.
CHANCE.
CHANGE.
You MUST make a CHOICE to take a CHANCE or your life will never CHANGE.

You got nothing to lose but to put the three Cs into practice this year with NO self- inflicted stress or pressure on yourself so that you can enjoy the unknown journey in stored for you in 2017.

By the end of 2017, lets see where we land in life!

Namaste my friends,

Christine "Hai"
