Soo.. I am reading facebook status about 2009.. some good some not... and I think to myself what would my status be about 2009 and my instant reaction would be... Jessica is ready for 2009 to be over and excited to start 2010!.... Then I look back at what my 2009 has been filled with and I reevaluate!!
2009 and was a really good year for me!! There are so many things I am thankful for in 2009!! In January I got to surprise my best friend Jerome in Kansas City! In February I had my first real Valentine! In March I went to Texas with my Bestie, Holly to our friends wedding!! In April I went to my first Yankees game! In May I made the decision to start training for a half marathon!! In June I did my first 21 day Kathy Freston Cleanse!! In July I went to Colorado to visit my friend Susan! In August I discovered my love for Green Smoothies!!! In September I ran my first half marathon!!!!!!!!!! In October I was in the wedding of the decade and turned 25!!! In November I had an all vegan Thanksgiving meal!! In December I got a new job and moved to Omaha!!! And this is the short and condensed version of 2009!! WOW!! 2009 really was an amazing year of personal growth!!!
As I close an amazing 2009, I am preparing for an amazing 2010 and I think of one of my favorite quotes by Marinne Williamson....
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Happy New Year!
