We are hours away from a new year.  This day, since I can remember - has always put a lot of pressure on me.  It's the last day of the previous 364.  It's the last day of bad habits, burdened spirits, and the negativity associated with the year.  Or so I hope.  The change in the year is the biggest, most tangible hint that I can relate to - that screams.... new beginning.  So I put pressure on myself to be bigger, better, and brighter than the year before.  And - by April or so - the momentum has worn off, and I'm back to my old bad habits, burdened spirit, and negativity..... and a strong sense of diappointment, because I let myself down. 

So here is where I say - this year will be different. 

.... [silence]....

Nope, not this time.  I'm done talking.  Twenty-10 is all about getting it done, with as little words as possible.  It will require focus, perseverance, and determination - but it's time to change the tides.

In the spirit of focus - I'm launching my new blog, "Hungry | Thirsty."  It's a more focussed attempt at sharing my thoughts about my life's little obsessions, the topics that make me hungry for exploration, and thirsty for experience: Health, Fashion, People, Travel, Food, Creativity and Progress.

I look forward to the conversation....
