HAPPY FIRKIN' NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
New Year's is one of my favorite holidays. It's not just the glam party scene with glitter and over flowing champagne that I love or even the fireworks that light up the sky at midnight (although I do love fireworks.. Independence Day being my second favorite holiday). What I love is that true meaning of New Year's, much like Christmas has a true meaning beyond the wrapping paper and debt. A New Year is fresh, a clean slate, a beginning, a new start. Today all over my facebook was status updates with a glow of a positive attitudes of overflowing optimism.
This year I don't really have a resolution because resolutions always seem to be broken or more of a fad. I have been struggling to well.. survive. My life is about work and not the kind of productive work that brings you success and a happy life but work that just pays the bills, just getting me by. I am not a minimum wage by the hour worker, I am a photographer.
Call this my "Julie and Julia" project, the 365 project, a dream, a goal, a journey, my job, my life. I started this whole blogging business a few months ago but now it's time to get serious. No more dream on the back burner! Every day (yes, 365 days) I will do something for my self as a photographer, to grow, to improve, to be successful. It may be a baby step, it may be a big step and this isn't a deadline of next year I will be some super-successful-bestintheworld-mega photographer. This is just the beginning, an establishment of 2010.
