stepping back and looking at the big picture

2

I’ve been nose to the ground busy for some time now, both with work and family.  But honestly I’ve been like a dog on the hunt and not coming up till I get to the end.  Where is the end?  Is there and end?  Well honestly I hope not…but I needed to come up for air.

So I’m on a much needed vacation in Amsterdam.  Is there really a better place on earth to get away from it all? NOPE  I just woke up one day a few weeks ago and decided I needed time away.  Away from work and away from the family to a place where I could clear my head and step back for a moment to look at the big picture.

I honestly couldn’t think of a better time of the year to collect myself.  Getting the chance to carefully look over the entire year just before I leap into ‘09 with both feet.  So after a fun filled week of sight-seeing, boat tours through the canals, a fun trip to the redlight district (details omitted), lots of amazing food and time spent with friends, I’m chilling in my hotel thinking over my year.  Where I’ve been, what goals I’ve completed /not completed, and where I see myself next year.  I will say it’s been a hell of a year.  And if anyone told me I’d have worked with some stellar clients over at The Advance Guard, I would have called them crazy.  It’s all gone by so fast and I just keep the balls running to the next and next and I think now taking a minute to stop and breath I’m honestly impressed with what I’ve managed to complete this year, both professionally and personally.

So looking towards 2009 I’ve written a list of last years achievments and next years goals.  I’m thankful for all the amazing people I cross paths with everyday, and toast you all for a prosperous 2009.

…flickr pics should be up soon.  :)

Twittering Teddy

0

I know I’ve been uber quite for a bit too long.  But we’re working on this really fun project with Verizon’s My Home 2.0 team that I just had to blab about.

Teddy is reminiscent of that talking bear back in the 80’s that I always wanted but could never convince my parents to buy me.  So I’ll admit I’ve had a soft spot for him/her (we’re still not quite sure) since the start.

After a geek style transformation by the My Home 2.0 Gurus Alison and Lloyd, Teddy sits on his perch and tweets those he follows.  Cool huh.  ;)

Follow Teddy’s story http://2pointhome.com/teddy

The best part though.  He’s up for auction with all the proceeds going to the Homeless Children’s Education Fund.

family, my dog

Where did she go?

0

It’s late.  I’m up catching up on me. 

It seems when things get busy the first thing that gets put on hold is me.  Taking time to: enjoy family & friends, get outside, post on my blog (obviously), read my stack of ‘waiting’ books, going to the gym, etc. etc.   

In my urge to rejuvenate and reorganize I find myself making list or even just jotting lists in my head.  When in fact doing something off that list rather then always writing it down may in fact be more productive.    

So yes.  I’m here.  Busy busy working - still loving it as much (if not more) then ever.   

On a sad note - my puppy broke her foot after jumping off the bed and landing on her bone. She’s still stinkin’ cute with her paw wrapped up in a cast, and 3-wheeling it around the house.
