Become a Change Agent

I've been talking a lot about getting prepared for the amazing break throughs that I see coming in 2009. There is a since of optimism and enthusiasm that the whole country can feel. Everyone was glad to say goodbye to 2008 but I think we have all been waiting on this day - waiting on the inauguration of Barack Obama to really start again.

But President Elect Obama is right. We have to BE the change that we want to see. If we want to be in control of our finances then we have to put a financial plan together and have the discipline to implement it. If we want love this year we need to make room for it and forgetting the past. If we want a new career we have to prepare for it.

But what makes us uniquely human is our ability to change course. The power of change and genuine transformation is always within us - not outside of us. Thanks for the reminder, President Elect Obama.

Fun for Two

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I had one of the best New Year's Eves ever! My husband and I decided to go out with a group on a catamaran and ring in the new year on the inter coastal. With a clear view of the ball drop to the east and fireworks to the west it was a spectacular way to bring in 2009. I also realized that the fun was not about boat but about having some quality time and plan old fun with my husband which can be scarce when you are a mother of two.

But it was a reminder that it is something that we both need. And that as a super woman I have the power to make a change. So I edited my goals to reflect more alone time for me and my man! And, yes that is allowed. Goals are there to guide you and keep you moving forward. I can't think of a more forward direction than to make changes that make my marriage even better.

"More alone time in 2009"! Corny, but effective.
