Happy 2010!

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great New Years Eve! I sure did. Melanie (from work, and also from Virginia!) and I went to Keith's bar and it was lots of fun. I'll spare you the details. This year is going to be a big one for me. First of all, I don't know where I am going to be. Literally. Will we stay in Portland? Will we move to Salt Lake City? Will we move to California? Who knows? This morning, I am inclined to say we will stay in Portland for a while longer. But ask me again this afternoon and that could easily change. We are looking forward to our stay at Timberline Lodge later this month. After that, the next big thing will probably be my 12 day trip to Virginia. And from there, I just don't know. Trips to Salt Lake City, San Diego and Hawaii are high on my list of things to do. I also have really been contemplating massage therapy school. I think it would be a great complement to my blossoming yoga career. I also think it would help make me a better teacher. If I was debt free, I would already be signed up. But I need to look into it a bit more before I can make it a definite. Also, I need to think about going to school in a state where I plan to live for a while, because moving out of state would cause me to lose my license. Not sure if I'd have to go through all of the school again or just pass an expensive test, but the certification isn't national like my yoga one is. I'd love to specialize in, let's say, a 30 minute private yoga session followed by a 30 minute massage (or 45, or 60, or whatever). What a beautiful and perfect little life I would have doing that! I do know that retail is not my thing. I do believe that I am great at it, but it's not what I want to do. I have a much greater potential, and I realize that. I have a much more specialized potential. I feel pretty blessed to know what I want to do with my life, I just have to find a way to make it happen. And let's be honest, I will find a way. 2009 has taught me this: Where there is a will, there is a way.
