25

So my hiatus is over and I think i've started to see a new outlook with the recent struggles I have for the most part overcome.

Its been a busy season at work and in my personal life and I can finally see the end of the tunnel with this weekend as a time to breathe, reflect and move foward.

I turned 25 last weekend and although I didn't believe it- in some ways feel different.


I've worked hard over the past year to set some strong career goals but I seem to have forgotten about that whole other part of my life that is not about work. Health, Life, Balance, Community Involvement and Personal Goals and that my friends is what my 25th year will be about.

Here are a few highlights of the things I want to accomplish:

1. Get physically healthy! These past few weeks have shown that lack of exercise and good real food doesn't work with my body. Long term goals for me include one day being a fitness instructor.... :S maybe... but if I don't get healthy myself that dream is not going to happen. Maybe I will even run a marathon at some point, who knows? Gotta start this one small.

2.Volunteer more! There are a million things I take away from my friend Becky's adventure with Roadtrip with Reason but the BIG one is that I need to get more involved in my own community- not sure what i'm going to do yet ( any suggestions?) but something that makes me feel good, helps others and gives me a opportunity to meet some great people!

3.Me time. I need some time for myself more, doing yoga or weekly treats of walks down harbourfront- whatever makes me feel relaxed, happy and tuned out from the world of work and crazy life.

4. Getting out there and enjoying life! I never want to look back on my 20's and think I wasted them being stressed, tired and unhappy. Its time to live my lifeee!

There are some thoughts for now- I will continue to do check ins and updates on what I am doing to ensure those wants are happening and all else.

Live, Love and learn.
