Newness
First of all, Happy New Year! Everything feels so fresh and…new!! I’m not really a resolution maker, but I do like making goals for the upcoming year. So far I have two specific goals for the year: 1. Go to trapeze school! (http://newyork.trapezeschool.com/) I saw a trapeze school session last summer and absolutely fell in love! Ok, and the trapeze episode of Sex and the City may have had a small influence on me. 
2. Add more stillness to my life. (I know, could my two goals be more opposite?!) In November I had the chance to meet and become friends with Gabrielle Bernstein. Gabby is a super cool entrepreneur (she created http://www.herfuture.com/, http://gabbyb.tv/, and wrote the book Add More ~Ing to Your Life). She is all about inner peace and oneness and all that stuff. I’m all about creating good energy and being kind to yourself and others, but Gabby has introduced me to a whole new level…a year ago I couldn’t even make it through a yoga session without bursting into laughter (for some reason balancing on one foot and chanting “hummm” is really funny to me). Despite my past ability to take yoga and meditation seriously, I believe that we all have incredible brain power, we just have to take time to access and listen to it. So, I’m making it my personal goal to take time to be still each day. I’m going to need all the brain power I can get with my new job!
Speaking of my new job, today is my first day. I am sooo excited! Obviously, my blog is going to be taking a bit of a new direction and instead of talking about interviews and cover letters, I will be talking about 401ks and Roth IRAs (Ahhh new vocab, so exciting!). As a side note, I am EXTREMELY PASSIONATE about all of YOU listening to your intuition and following your dreams, so if you’re still on your job search and want some advice or insight PLEASE reach out to me and I’ll be happy to help you! Thankfully, during my time in Tennessee over the holiday, my wonderful family gave me tons of encouragement about starting my new job and I read the book New Girl on the Job by Hannah Seligson. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is new to the workforce-lots of great advice!
“”Now” is the operative word. Everything you put in your way is just a method of putting off the hour when you could actually be doing your dream. You don’t need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating.”
