It's Another New Year

Happy New Year!!!

We actually made it to 2013 despite what the Mayans predicted, woo hoo!!

I'm not one to make New Year's Resolutions because I think you should make needed changes when you see fit. There's no need to put off something to another year or another month or day because our time on this earth is never guaranteed.

What's new with me, you ask (well you didn't ask, but if you wanted to know):

• I'm back on track mentally. I had an incident get me down and panicky around Thanksgiving, but I've bounced back. My mind and my spirit have been renewed; I'm back to my good place.
• I'm doing a 90 day fitness challenge in which I have to walk 15 miles a week or complete 225 minutes of exercise per week. As part of the challenge, I must consume 64 oz of water per day. I have a love/hate relationship with water. I can drink 8 cups one day and then drink lemonade all day long the next, so I'm striving for consistency. 
• I'm trying to refrain from cutting my hair again. I took a couple inches off in November, and I'm not even sure why. It just kind of happened lol. I received a new flat iron for Christmas and I can't wait to use it once my hair gets to a good length. I'm loving team natural, but I wonder how my hair looks straight. 
• My baby is no longer a baby, and the terrible 2s are kicking my tail.
• I'm waiting to hear back from the Durham Crisis Response Center about scheduling my volunteer interview. If the interview goes as planned, I will complete training to be a Faith Based Community Educator in February. 
• I still don't have a job, but I'm applying for jobs like crazy. At this point, I don't mind staying unemployed until March because I really want to be a DCRC volunteer. I think educating people about domestic violence and sexual assault is one of the purposes for my life. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to allow God to use me in this capacity. 

I think I covered about everything new with me. I wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year!
