So, 2013 is coming to a close very very quickly. This year has been brought some of the biggest challenges my way. And as hard as it's been off and on, all of it is so very very good.
The biggest change was moving down here to Pueblo. After that, it was locking myself in lease until May. And as much as I hate it and want to leave, it's a very good thing I'm here. It's giving myself the permission to hermitize and stay to myself, which is what I really need. If I had it any other way, I would probably honestly always be with someone or out and hanging out or something but I really do need to be here and I really do need to do some work on myself.
2014 is going to be different. The whole year is going to be intentional. The move to Pueblo in 2013 was purely accidental and flying-by-the-seat-of-my-pants type year because all I had to do to move down here was just step into it. I certainly never planned or intended to plan to move here, I just did it. This year will be different. I'm already here. To get out of here will take some very deliberate planning, strategizing and maneuvering to get to where I want to be next.
So this year, I plan to resolve a few things for myself... I want to come out of 2014 much more sound in mind, body and soul. More reading, more blogging and using myself to get to the answers I know I need to hear, going to church (so far, ever sermon I've heard from this church I checked out here is exactly what I need to hear to keep myself on track with where I want to be), less distractions. I want to create art, whether it be modeling, photography, learning to sew/knit/crochet, draw more and develop my skill, build some things I need for my apartment (like a frame for this mirror I have), just freaking create stuff. To get my body right, walking my dogs more so they can get more exercise (and once I can take my dog to the vet to get her nails cut since she won't let me do it. They're so long that her "wrists" and "ankles" pop everytime she walks that going jogging with her is really out of the question), going to the gym daily.
This coming year I already have plans set in motion to fulfill on part of it. I'm taking two classes on campus to help me make more progress on my degree: English and jewelry making, with at least two hours in between classes so I can do homework and go to the fitness center on campus. I'm thinking while I'm here, I'll do an art class a semester.
Anyway, that's really the short version of it. I have a lot more to say on the matter.
I've deleted all social media apps on my phone and will be staying away from social media for 2014 and I'll be blogging on my site. I'll definitely be coming around here and I did start a new IG account that I may use specifically for SG. We shall see. I haven't thought that out completely thru yet, but I started a new IG account nonetheless.
Anyway, I hope everyone had an awesome holiday season and I hope you celebrate the end of 2013 with a bang! Wishing all ya'll an amazing 2014!
See you on the other side!
Besos!

P.S. some pictures from my trip to Florida at the beginning of November. I finally got around to looking at them and whatnot. The second one had me cracking up so I had to share. xo
