I'm Back!

Wow it has been way more that a minute but I am back! First off, let me say Happy New Year (Feliz Nuevo Anos) and all that jazz! As we all know this year 2008 is supposed to be the year of change! Unlike millions of people that make these ridiculous New Years resolutions I am making one that I know I can keep: To just Upgrade myself! Not in one specific area but wholly. I am taking a page from Kimora Lee Simmons and I am going to remain and continue to be Fabulous and live that way!

Well I guess I should start with a brief, and I mean brief, update. Well the holidays went OK for me. Thanksgiving was spent surrounded by loved ones including several best friends James and family, Giselle and family, and my personal family as well..Timiki, Aquntis, and my mother. I even visited some of my clients at one of my jobs to kind of spread some holiday cheer. December brought the Christmas season and shopping. This year only shopped for a few folks, mainly the babies, niece, nephew, lil’ brother, 2 cousins, godmother, and of course Donna aka Mommy. It felt really good to actually see their unsuspected faces when I gave them their gifts. Due to my fathers unexpected death a week before Christmas last year and as I get older the holidays don’t mean as much to me but this year was cool. Of course there was the 1 year anniversary of my father’s death on December 11th. I did not know how I was going to be on that day but I made it through without any type of emotional breakdown or having any other adverse affects take over me. I guess it was just a time of reflection for me. I took the day off though just in case I was feeling some kind of way.

Well January has brought in 2008 on a good note. I began working out again. I know I will always have some sort of body issues but I can whole-heartedly say that I am comfortable with my body and am beginning to love it more and more. I have told myself that I will only be going out, clubbing and things of that nature, twice a month. I have realized that at 25 I can’t recover as well as I used to. Working more than one job that is mentally exhausting, going out partying, and getting up early in the morning is not an easy task and it was becoming a weekly occurrence and THAT WILL NEVER DO!

For 2008 I plan on doing it up with the blogging thing. I have been reading various blogs and seeing how progressive they are and I hope to tackle issues that are provocative and relevant to people such as myself: Powerful, Progressive, Determined, Independent, Outspoken, Impactful, Trend Setting, Intellectual, and most of all……SEXY! Are you Ready?
