every year, i pick a word
to use as a focus for the year...
some years, it works great for me.
some years, well...they have been duds.

last year's word was
RISK
and it worked pretty good for the 2015...
it was the stepping stone to this year's word choice really.

part of my reason for choosing RISK last year
was because I was thinking about slowing down on the
photography business...
but i was scared to.

but i did it.

for 2016, i have about 8 weddings booked
which far different from the 18-20 i have been doing the past couple of years.
and, although it still gives me a little fear...
what if i stop...will people forget me...will i lose out...what weddings will i miss...
how much regret will i have...
you know...that kind of thinking....the scary kind.

but i am also feeling happy...a sense of relief...
and am making plans.

my new years resolutions consist of a lot of the same items
i add every year...and every september...and every spring...
weight loss, walking, water, fitbit, yoga, eating better, etc, etc, etc.

but this year, i have intentionally added items
FOR FUN...things that will make me HAPPY :) :) :)

cause really...that's what i want this year....
just a big mess of giggly, loud, a-little-in-your-face,
hold your sides laugh out loud HAPPY...
(with a little bit of weight loss, cause really, who am i kidding?)
