Cinderella Story...

I am sitting here trying to figure out why a cheesy movie could make me think so much. This is what I came up with:

1. The familiar feeling of having to please those around you.
2. The belief in a fairy tale ending.
3. The thought that one day I will not let the fear of striking out, keep me from playing the game.
4. The belief that just like Cinderella I can change my fate.

So, the question is how do I get my fairy tale beginning??

The answer: FACE THE FEAR HEAD ON!!

Someone once told me...

As I was driving home from yet another long day at work, I started to think about the future, 2009 and the rest of my life. The Presidential election left me with a feeling of hope and the unbelievable urge for change. Change not only for this world but also changes for my life. I am growing up yet, I feel like I am stuck in place. Don't get me wrong; I know that this is entirely the fault of my own. I have always resisted change... actually I have loathed change.
So much has changed around me in the last year. I am going to be an aunt in 3 short months and I feel like I am in the same place that I was 3 years ago. I would like to be the best aunt that I can be and start to have my life figured out. Maybe, not my entire life but at least taking some steps towards my goals. I have so many things that I want to do in my life and its hard to pin point a clear goal. In the next year I would like to take steps toward a different career path, taking a trip to visit my family in Germany, and look into buying a house.
I am not so much against change anymore. It’s something that has to happen. At this point in my life I have fought it so much, that I am not sure how to change. Someone once told me, that the best way to achieve your goals is to write them down. I guess in a way this is my blog for change in 2009.
