2014!

i read a post on instagram the other day that really made me think....

i really debated the fact of doing new years resolutions for my personal life.  i always try to set some goals for my business but the personal goals especially tend to be shelved by the middle of february.  but as i read this post i realized to separate my personal goals from my business goals is not the way to go about it.  

it really got me thinking about how my business is so reflective of my personal tendencies and how much of my personality is strongly interwoven into and reflected in my business.  i realized how i have to be strong and true to my self for my business to flourish and that i need to feel satisfied and successful in my business to feel happy as a person.  so in hoping not to sound too cliche or to be like every other average, run of the mill, human being in january, i really have taken on a new out look on this year.

i feel like so much of what i went through last year as prepared me for this year... mostly my failures, they were a real kick in the seat! so im just gonna put it out there...

***i hope to be content with the work that i've done and work hard to improve and refine my style each and every time i'm given the opportunity

***i want to be more committed to blogging! be faithful in posting projects and progress!  and to stream line the content of the blog, keeping in line with the vision.  bringing interior design inspiration, trends, and projects that i'm working on. along with a few posts mixed in that are solely for inspiration.

***and last but not least i will take more risks!!! i usually hold back on putting myself out there because im afraid that it will fail.  i am afraid that if i try all the things i have up my sleeve then i will not have anything left to hold onto, no ace in the hole.  well if there is anything that i have learned from the past year its that some of my failures have produced some of the best results in me in the end. my failures have refined my and trained me. therefore i shouldn't be afraid to fail because in doing so i am just learning, which actually isn't failing at all. i want to dream and then be fearless to follow those dreams

well there it is... my mushy beginning of the year, get my butt in gear, you can do it speech!

i hope you will follow me on my journey through the following year.  hopefully i come out better and stronger on the other side! 

thank you all for reading!!!
