Happy New Year

OK, OK so it's almost the end of January already and this post has been long overdue but rather than give excuses (primarily because I don't have any), Happy New Year fellow branches!

Has this year yielded any good fruit for you so far?? I can say that for me the answer is yes. I feel very blessed and honoured to still be around. I just read that Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon. He was only 28 years old. I am really grateful for life and I know that it is no small potatoe that I'm able to sit here and have life. It's so ironic that something so major can be overlooked and deemed as a minor thing and yet where would we be without it??

Count your blessings, name them one by one. So to that end let me begin...
I have started work and I am loving it. I work with a luxury shoe designer within the PR department. I really am loving it. It's tiring though, like today was so testing but even though I couldn't wait to get home, I can't wait for the next day. I am revelling in the challenges that are being thrown at me. I guess this is a really good way of knowing that you are on the right track when it comes to purpose and stuff..do you still love 'it' when you hate 'it'??

I have received so much favour when it comes to this area and I happened to 'stumble' upon PR by 'accident'. I am so very glad that I held out and didn't settle for just a job so I could get some money. I am gushing but that is because it's perfect for me in everyway right now even down to location!

I am looking forward and anticipating quite a bit this year. I am looking forward to my birthday which is a huge thing as I cannot remember the last time I was really really looking forward to getting older. I am looking forward to meeting new people and forging new relationships. I am looking forward to...me. Yes I am looking forward to what I will be this year, I am excited about change rather than afraid of it. This is going to come off like I am preaching but sometimes we all need a lil' preaching can I get a wit-nessa? So far I have lived my life based on what other people decide; I wait for them to make the decisions and I adapt to accomodate their feelings, wants, desires etc and by doing so I have lived my life at the mercy of others. No pity necessary because it was not by force. I have for a very long time kept who I am really am confined to my mind and now I am breaking out of the box so to speak. This is why I am excited about me!

So in closing, I pray that 2008 will bring you blessings, peace, joy, and uncommon testimonies...be sure to share 'em!

BE FRUITFUL XX
