HAPPY NEW YEAR-PUBLISHED

Thank the Lord 2010 is finally

over with! I’m thorough

with that DRAMA

mama.

Although I learnt something

spectacular about myself,

maybe let me say I only

fully recognized and embraced

it in the past year. All

my life I have heard people

telling me that I’m special,

that I’m a go getter, that I

simply just do. So I as I go

into the new year, I will carry

that attitude, that I am capable

of doing whatever it is

I really want to do. It has

something to do with walking

in faith.

It is 2011-breath, nothing

much has changed except the

number of which year it is.

You still have to get up and

go to work, you still have to

pay rent and your bills, I still

have deadlines to meet, I still

have therapy to attend, we

are still all trying to win the

lottery, my hair is still falling

out, you still need to lose

weight-smile, you are still

figuring out how to pay for

your house, you will still

choose a man with money

over a nigga who doesn’t have

any, you will still try to make

all the A-List parties in town,

you will still hate on her because

she went and got that car

that you like, you will still gossip

and talk trash about other

just for the sake of it, you will

still get shamelessly drunk and

end up on whispers or seen n

heard or rather in some random

guy’s bed (yea we know that’s

true), you will still talk big as

if you got something but we all

know you just living lavish

with no safe net, I will still cry,

I will still feel hurt, I will still

hustle and yes you will not get

a pay rise this year because the

economy is messed up….and

the list goes on and on.

All I want for this new year

are just simply things I know I

can achieve myself without

leaning on another to get me

there…don’t get me wrong-I

will accept help when it avails

itself but I will not go out of

my way to get it when I believe

I can do it myself.

1)

than I did in the year that

has gone by- I started

working hard late in

2010 … and I saw the

amazing results of hard

work too late. I’m

starting early.

Of course with hard

work comes a lot of

sacrifices but I’ve started

so it won’t be a major

change-yes I choose not

to have a social life.

Taking small steps

towards my big picture.

This year, for me, is all

about carving out that

path, setting direction for

the ship to sail.

I will work harder

2)

more

I will read a little bit

3)

to stay in shape….I’m

aiming for a flat tummy,

toned thighs, firmer butt,

stronger arms

I will exercise a lot more

4)

again (I will not catch up

with Timothy Maurice

Webster yet I will run

anyway-lol)

I will learn how to run

5)

sugar, no bread, and no

rice. This proved to be

hurdle for me in 2010

but I’m not discouraged.

These are my personal goals

for 2011. There are things that

are not on this list yet get to be

on top- I will be a better mother

in any way that I can, I will be

more understanding, forgiving

and loving as a sister, a friend,

a cousin, a stranger, a counselor,

a daughter and a niece.

I’m still going to be

fabulozethy….smile.

There are many things I will

have to learn and practice on a

spiritual level and those are the

things I truly believe will add

value into my life. These are

the things that I believe add

value to everybody’s life and

should be our ultimate goals.

I’m not going to say things

will be different for you this

year; i’m not going to hype you

up. You still have ups and

downs, what I really hope you

do this year is try to change the

little things that you can that

make you a better person. I

hear lots of people complaining

about drama in their livesthe

true question is what are

you doing to minimize that?

Divas out there want to spend

money like its growing on trees

or they held up a bank but the

truth is whose money are you

spending? What hideous acts

of moral sin are you committing

in order for you to spend

that money? Is it really

worth it? This year let that

be your question when you

embark on any adventure,

whether work related or for

pleasure. Ask yourself, is

this worth it? If the answer

is yes it is, then go for it but

if you cannot answer that

question honestly to yourself,

like I always say, “Keep

it tracking”.

I wish that you will pursue

that dream or goal that you

have been putting off due to

various reasons, my hope is

that you learn what makes

you happy and not so joyous.

My sincere wish is that you

achieve most of what you

have set out to achieve this

year. We are never too old to

learn, to dream and to

achieve. So whoever told

you it was

impossible….prove yourself

wrong. Hard work never

goes out of fashion and it

certainly will not be the case

this year.
