A Hop, Skip & a Jump...

 

 

 

...a new year always excites me - new beginnings! So to start this year a-fresh I decided not to drink last night (I now, go ahead have a wee yawn - I would!) but when I woke this morning with a clear head (2 schnauzers that need a good walk and a 3 year old full of beans!) I felt pretty good.

 

Believe me I missed the old Kari - faltering home at 6am on The Walk of Shame but the thing I've realised is that I may not be able to do 'that' sort of thing at the moment but my life is not over - in fact it's just beginning...

So this is me...

 

...for a while I've hidden behind my illustrations.

For some reason (a lack of self esteem most probably) I lost my way and the reasons why are so annoying...

I hit 40 - I told everyone it's no big deal - it was.

I'd spent years hiding - from myself.

And now, the number 40 having past and an acceptance that actually it's not too late to be the person I want to be. I'm going to be me and stand tall - no apologies.

So here's a few things I'm going to do...

 

Back tattoo - booked for January.

Breast enlargement - done and slowly but surely recuperation under way.

Land rover Defender (I will not be bullied in this car...) - test drive booked New Years Eve.

Actual photo of me - above! (Not too scary!)

New book ' Indestructible Self-Belief - Fiona Harrold - Downloaded on phone and first chapter underway.

Yoga class - Found and booked, starting first week of January.

Business idea - Growing.

 

All of which makes me feel like I'm being selfish - but this year taught me that I can look after my family, juggle the things they want to do, support my husband in his job and interests, walk the dogs and lavish them with love, support and encourage friends - And - although I love doing all of this and will continue to do so - I need to do something for me.

This year, I lost myself but its ok because by doing so it made me think - who am I? what do I want? And very importantly it showed me the people who actually cared about me and are willing to help support me.

So with their support and my ideas, the coming year will be fabulous!

A New Year...

 

I love New Year, I also love the start of a new month, the start of a fresh week, the start of a fresh day...

A new beginning.

So for 2014, the start of The New Year I am going to...

Ok - I need to think but hey I have 3 days - but I'm thinking Paris, Parisian style, a trip to Paris...
