I am taking my blog back! I started this blog as a way to document how I feel about life and what's going on with me at any given moment but somewhere along the way it became about what I did and not who I am. I'm a creative girl and I love to share the things I make with everyone but this year ... 2010 ... is all about learning who I really am and what I want in life... with that in mind I am going to post more about what I feel and think and not just what I create. Know what I mean? I hope so.
I thought I would start by sharing my word for 2010...
Learn -
–verb (used with object)
1. to acquire knowledge of or skill in by study, instruction, or experience: to learn French; to learn to ski.
2. to become informed of or acquainted with; ascertain: to learn the truth.
3. to memorize: He learned the poem so he could recite it at the dinner.
4. to gain (a habit, mannerism, etc.) by experience, exposure to example, or the like; acquire: She learned patience from her father.
5. (of a device or machine, esp. a computer) to perform an analogue of human learning with artificial intelligence.
6. Nonstandard. to instruct in; teach.
–verb (used without object) 7. to acquire knowledge or skill: to learn rapidly.
8. to become informed (usually fol. by of): to learn of an accident
I love that this word has so many ways to define it! A few of the ways that I hope to learn this year are... I want to gain more knowledge about who I am. I want to memorize me so that I can stand strong and secure in myself when the winds of change are blowing my way instead of bending to the will and desires of others. I want to be informed of my options and then choose wisely based on that knowledge. I want to acquire the knowledge that I need to start a career.... there are so many more things that I want to learn this year but these are the most important ones. 2010 is going to be a whole new adventure for me and I can't wait to begin!

Happy New Year to you, sweets!! I think "Learn" is a wonderful word and that your action behind it will be fruitful. What we do is only a small part of who we are, and it is so beautiful that you've decided to take your blog back and express yourself on a personal level. I hope to follow along and get to know you better in 2010!
