Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a happy and healthy holiday season. Let’s make 2011 the year to Cultivate our Wellness.

So, what are your plans for the new year? Whatever it is, you can do it!  Personally, I’ve never been one for New Year’s Resolutions. I usually have so many efforts in the mix, for me it’s just another holiday. That doesn’t mean, however, that I will be cruising lackadaisically into 2011. Heaven’s no. My New Year adventure? Start my own acupuncture business! Where? Walnut Creek, Ca. When? Right now! I’m very excited and incredibly nervous but I’ve got the knowledge and the initiaitive and I’m ready to take this head-on. The best part, I won’t be doing it alone. My good friend and incredible colleague, Jenna Depino, will be joining my efforts. It’s gonna be great! Wish us luck!

So yeah, this holiday season has been busy. I packed up my life once again and moved myself, (and my All-Star), to the East Bay Area with high hopes and expectations for happiness and success. Sure, it’s scary. The unknown always is. But I’ve never been one to let fear stand in my way. When I find a path that calls to me, I hit the ground running. 

I don’t expect everyone to drop everything like I did to pursue their dreams, but I will encourange you to use this new year to takes some chances. Take a look at your bucket list. Is there something you’ve been putting off for an easier tomorrow? Is there a path you’ve been eyeing but have been afraid to take? I say go for it! The dream is yours, the person is you, and the time is now!!! Good luck!

The cliche of the New Year is upon us.  December came and went being exactly what it always has been and January followed obediantly, bringing with it promises of a great year and resolution successes.  I for one have never much bought into the hype of a new number at the end of the date meaning it’s time to change my flaws and become the best I can be. But, for the sake of conformity, I did give thought to a pattern or two I may be able to change.  So here’s a little list of New Year’s resolutions I hope to pay a little mind.

Laura’s New Year’s Resolutions

1. Text less, call more

2. Blog daily

3. Exercise regularly…starting with my “Turning 30, 30 Day Fitness Challenge” to begin on January 5th

Nothing too complicating.  Just a few things that I believe will strengthen my ability to “cultivate my wellness.”

What are you promising yourself for the New Year?!
