Big Bad New Year

It's 2010 People. 2010. So, I pose the question: Where has the time gone and am I officially "old" for even asking? I sound like my mother when I say those words. I never thought THAT would happen. But then again, did any of us?

So, here we are staring down a new decade. I'm sure those of you who make resolutions each year have already done so. Those of you who don't care to come up with a new way to improve yourself and then quit in a month; would you be willing to reconsider?

I think 2010 should be a new start for all of us. Not just because it's a new year and we all promise to do better each January. But, because it's a new decade. I think we can all agree that the last decade was pretty tough. I won't dive into my feelings of nuclear threat, war, global warming, economic globalization, or the deepest recession America has felt since the 1930's. That's not the point of this blog. ;) The point is that the last decade brought all of those things our way and now that we've had time to crawl to our feet and gain the strength we need to move forward it's time we take this new decade and become the America we all know we CAN be. But, I think in order to do that we have to become the PEOPLE we know we can be. 2010 offers a chance for all of us to look ahead and look within.

If you listen to The Larry Stanley show (you all SHOULD and if you're not shame on you) you might have heard me and Larry talking about this last week. You heard me say I was going to try to let go of my self inflicted stress. I get twisted pretty fast when it comes to things like schedules, plans, punctuality, having all the ducks in the proverbial row if you will. I've got to learn that those things really don't matter in life. It all happens whether you're late, early, etc. I've also got to learn to go with the flow when one of those ducks falls out of row. And, it's life...they WILL and there's nothing I can do about it. If you have a similar change you'd like to tackle then I invite you to come along with me and look at it in terms TODAY. Instead of making a resolution that we all know we aren't going to stick with let's just try to make this promise instead: MAKE TOMORROW BETTER THAN TODAY. Seems like a big commitment but if we break it down into small pieces it can easily be done. Instead of a resolution think of it as a small life change with a big result.

So, let's make 2010 our decade. Let's reach for our dreams and not give up on them. Let's feel the fear and go for it anyway. All we have to lose is time and that's a valuable thing to waste! So, I want some feedback. I want some encouragement in my endeavors, and I want to help you, too! So feel free to leave comments on what you're up to, what your thoughts are about the show and the blog, and if there's anything I can do to help you I'll do my best! Let us know wht you want to hear about and we'll cover it either on our show, the website in general, or right here in this blog. We're all in this together! It's going to be a Big Bad New Year, guys. Let's get this!
