I came across this picture a few weeks ago that was taken January 2nd of 2008. My mom and I were taking pictures of each other so that we could do a virtual hairstyle makeover on this website.
Recently I've been trying to think of a good heartfelt resolution I can commit to for this year. And then it hit me, "Wow! I did a pretty good job on my goal I made last year!" And I wonder, do people ever sit back to celebrate the good they have done? I really hope so!
Taking this huge leap has felt good! It was challenging, I had to do some soul searching, I had to take control, it has been rewarding and it feels good. And though I still have personal goals to attain. I can't help but compare the me today to the me I was almost exactly 1 year ago. I feel better. It's easier for me to be the real me without the outside me holding me back. Even though I still am 'me' it's just a like I'm a vibrating at a higher frequency. (am I making any sense at all whatsoever, or have I been reading too many Stephanie Meyer books?) lol!
I hope you all take time to Celebrate the little things (or big things) in life that you've accomplished! I'd love to hear some of your triumphs from last year! Leave me a comment.
Wishing you the best for your journey to 2010! (okay, two thousand ten?..... that sounds weird!)
Love,

Jamie,

Fantatic! You look great. After I have this baby I'm going to loss some weight. Marcy gave me some cute jeans to get me motivated. Way to go though!

Your post made me smile and even tear up a bit! It was very inspiring to read. And yes, I do know what you mean by vibrating at a higher frequency. It sounds like you have been learning about the law of attraction??? At any rate... you look fabulous and I'm happy for you! :-)

You look great! I too have had success in that department over the past year and it has felt great! I think you said it best when you said that the outside you isn't holding you back anymore! I love that! I am glad that you reminded me to take a minute and celebrate! I never do that, I am always just looking ahead to the next thing! Thanks!

Jamie, you really are an inspiration to me. Oh if only I had the control you did :)
My biggest triumph of 2008 definitely has to be baby Sullivan and not having a break down first :)

Isn't that great! You are an example! You look beautiful and happy. I will take time to pat myself on the pat a little more often and say, "Good Job Self!"

I think that is great! Good for you... I would have to say that I could definatly relate to what you are saying!
On a different note... I AM HERE!!! YAY! We are moved and settled. Now we need to hook- up! So, I think you emailed me your info... I'll have to search in my email to find it. One question... how long did it take for you to get use to the cold??? I just need to prepare myself! :-)
