Happy New Year! Ringing in 2010 with Joy

Happy 2010

Happy New Year to all of me online peeps! On this second day of the new year and new decade I’m still feeling giddy with the excitement of the newness of it all. I know that it’s really just another day, but I’m loving the good energy that I’m feeling in the air. It’s a time when I talk to my friends and loved ones and wish them a happy and prosperous new year. We had a nice, quiet celebration at home and I actually dozed off before midnight and my girls had to wake me up as the ball was dropping. We toasted with sparkling cider and hugs and kisses all around.

I’ve been feeling quite prolific lately writing up a bunch of blog posts for my other blogs and social networking sites. I’ve also been using Facebook a lot lately. It’s funny, but when I started using Facebook, I had mainly business contacts as friends because no one that I knew in ‘real life’ was on Facebook. Well, something happened towards the end of this year and it seems like *everyone* I know is now on Facebook. I mean, even my mommy has Facebook profile. (Although she still has not posted a photo yet.) I’ve created a Fan Page for my Freelance writing business and I’m trying to think of a diplomatic way to ‘un-friend’ my business and random friends and encourage them to follow my Fan Page.

So, what are your exciting 2010 plans? I’ve got a bunch of exciting plans for my business that I’m cooking up. I feel so incredibly blessed to have been able to experience so much positive growth in my business over the past year that saw a lot of businesses fold due to the ‘down’ economy. By the grace of God I created my own economic stimulus package and bailed myself out after I experienced a lay-off at the end of 2008. God is good and He has blessed me with the energy and strength to persevere and to work every day on my business so that now I have something that I can be proud of and that will glorify Him.

I’ll end by encouraging you to pick a challenge and go for it in 2010. Do something that will stretch you and inspire you and those around you. But also do something that you will enjoy. Find a way to factor more fun into your life and it will feel more rewarding.
