Hello 2013

December was a bit of a whirlwind and I'm ready to settle in to 2013. From working at lulu to spending time with friends and family, while balancing my full-time job at PlattForm, and teaching yoga classes it was a fun ride.

I was waiting to find out what 2013 would bring and what the next step would be in creating my dream job. The new VP of Client Services agreed to let me go down to 32 hours a week, so I can focus on yoga, which I am very grateful for. Next was waiting to hear from lulu on if I would be able to stay. I really believe that it is for the best that I will not be continuing my part-time position at lulu, even with going to 32 hours a week at PlattForm, it would be a lot. And I made peace with that even before I found out. That is what I love about opportunities. They are always there, waiting for us and if things don't work out how you planned, there is always another opportunity around the corner. It is okay to feel that disappointment at first, but then make a new plan and believe everything happens for a reason. I met so many fabulous people working at lulu and I will always be a part of that community. Who knows another opportunity may present itself down the road with lulu at just the right time.

I am really excited to start 2013 knowing that I will have even more time to focus on yoga. Friday is going to be my yoga day to study, read, meditate, practice and plan classes.


What else do I have in store for 2013? Well, you know it's all about balance and yoga is my passion, however so is traveling and my niece, who hasn't even been born yet! It's going to be one fabulous year. Here is what I have on the itinerary:
  • Staycation to see all the sites of KC (ideas welcome!)
