What’s New for YOU in 2009?
I am a big new year’s resolution guy. Do I always follow through? No. But there is something magical about a fresh new start. I like the thought of entering a new year with a plethora of new goals and expectations.
2008 was filled with firsts and great accomplishments. My family and I lived in a small log cabin for 6 months on the East Coast Canada (where I grew up); I did my first corporate gig in french; and I have developed two new websites… just to name a few.
I look forward to bringing in the new year with friends and family in San Diego. In 2009, I am going to cook a new meal from scratch each month. Yup, and in case you are wondering, I am by no means a cook. However, I will find yummy recipes and do my best to impress my “chef” wife.
I will also be publishing a book on gratitude. While I have been fortunate to co-author a book with my mentor Patrick Combs and have a few chapters published in other books, this will be a first for me to be the sole author of a book.
So I encourage you all to make a list of all the things that you wish to accomplish in ‘09. In fact, if you dare, you may boldly post them as a response to this blog.
Peace and There YOU are,
Justin
