So, this was posted exactly a year ago today, and what a year it’s been! No More Wasted Time indeed! Let’s compare...

Last year I announced that I was starting a theatre company. Not only did this happen (www.beamtheatre.com) but we did our first show! Coincidentally, today we are having our first meeting about the next show :)

Last year I said I was going to reframe my job search - I said “I think the kind of place I want to work is a startup or small tech company.” A year later, that’s exactly where I am - Customer Happiness Specialist at Acuity Scheduling, and I love it!

Last year I announced that I was one week smoke free - I had been smoking for half my life, and this was a huge accomplishment. Last week, I celebrated 1 year smoke free!

Every year on my birthday, I like to look back and think about everything that’s happened. This year feels like it’s been huge, and full of tons of amazing things!

So, this year:

I quit smoking.

I started a theatre company and directed my first play.

I started taking singing lessons again.

I managed to do a Hanging at the Fringe podcast for every day of the Fringe.

I learned Front End Web Development.

I was called Princess Anna at the skating rink.

I had my first Christmas with just my husband.

I flew home and surprised my Mom.

I went to NYC - twice.

I got an awesome new job.

I ran my first 5k.

I also began to feel a lot more sure of myself, and started to make some choices that were healthy for me. I am learning to let go sometimes. I have chosen to surround myself with people who are positive and make me feel great.

This has been probably the most positive year of my life. I am so lucky to have had some awesome things happen, and feel proud that I made some of them happen myself!
