Keep moving forward.....

Happy New Year!  I cannot believe how fast 2009 flew by, and how so much will be changing for me in 2010.  This time of year brings with it the requisite thinking about the past year and hopes and dreams professionally for the year to come.

My goal for 2009 was proactive participation, and to thy self be true.  The same can be said for 2010:  to keep learning, keep loving and keep growing as a person and in my profession.  To spend as much quality and quantity time with my family and to cultivate things that bring joy to my life, be it reading a book, going for a walk with the family or trying new things.  Oh, and in the words of @KatieTT to have more red lipstick days in 2010!
