It's the first day of 2008 and I've thought a lot about the new year stretching out ahead of me waiting to be filled with the splashes of color and beautiful prose that makes up my life.

I've decided this year is about giving myself to my husband in a whole new way. It's about finishing what I've started; some things I began years ago and some recently. It's about being true to who I am, the person God made, flaws and beauty combined. It's about using the gifts God gave me. It's about developing my talents. It's about being who I truly long to be and not caring what people think. It's about stepping out and not hiding anymore. It's about freeing myself to really live life, mistakes and all.

This is me, this is real, this is vulnerability.

Anticipate 2008 is about being true to self. It's about changing only to develop who you really are, not to please others. I don't know where the road will lead, but you're welcome to join me.
