As I sit here and reflect on 2016, I have realized this has been one of the best years I have had.  I believe it is because I choose to make this year all about me.  Might seem a bit selfish but sometimes it has to be that way in order for you to help take care of others you need to take care of you.

I started a long time ago to finish my education and was a huge goal for 2016 to make sure I did exactly that.  It has been one year since I have retired from the U.S. Coast Guard and it was time to finish what I had started all those years ago.  As of December 2016 I did exactly that and finished with my AAS with Major in Accounting.

I also started on another journey that I have had a problem with for many years.  Crossfit was something I had heard of and was scared to try.  More than a few occasions I walked in the door and walked right the hell back out.  Who in the right mind sweats like that and gets beat and comes back the next day to say, Hi, Im here to take another beating.  Well ladies and gents that would be me.  I will say I stepped into the gym end of May 2106 and it started my journey and love for exercise that I never thought I would find.  I did stop for college and my full time job but guess what I am back at it and I love the fact its family and fun.  Here is to 2017.

So many other things happened, I found my love for photography again and for other things and getting the nerve to finally feel like i am really worth more than what I think I am.  This is huge for me and I hope to find more of my self worth in 2017.  I can't wait to share more of my journey so I will be coming back to my blog again at least weekly so I can read how my life has been coming along.  This is more for myself than for anyone else.

Enjoy your life because that is the only one you have.

Happy New Year Everyone 2016 has been fabulous but I think 2017 is going to be even better.

Learning New Things

Today I started on a journey.. Learning new things! I have a habit of not wanting to do things because I am scared because I really have no idea how to do so.  So with that said I have gone on many journey's lately but for right now this is the only one I can talk about. So I started a quilt well over 20 years ago.  One of my most precious friends showed me how to use a sewing machine while I lived in New York and over the last 20 years I have done a few things but have not really taken up sewing until that last few months.   Finished Quilt that took 20 years to finish  Last Mothers Day my family cleared out a room in my home and gave it to me so I can actually use it instead of stowing all my stuff under the stairs like Harry Potter.  So I set my room up and it stayed that way for a long time.  Things got put into it and stored and then it became a mess and then right before the New Year I finished a Crocheted Flag I did for a friend of mine as ...

Something Old Something New

I am not talking about weddings :D But today is one of those days when I have laughed, I have cried, and I have had many hours of myself which could be good and bad for all those involved in my life. I love to sew and I have been working on a quilt I have wanted to do for so long.  The Pattern is called Autumn Ablaze from Quilting Celebrations www.quiltingcelebrations.com .  Its from the Fall 2012 magazine, this will also tell you how long I have been wanting to do this.  See you all should believe me when I tell you this is a year all about me. So that gives you an Idea of what I have been doing this past week, plus many others more.  I have about 10 projects that I am always working on, I do tend to get bored with just one so when I see something I just jump right in and sew my little heart out.  Maybe one of these days I will actually finish a project without putting it aside for something else... Nah that is to predictable..   I was t...
