That's truly how I feel this year - that I can achieve anything! I've so much to look forward to - watching my beautiful children grow, my new career that I start in June and the completion of our holiday home in Jamaica in time for our 10th wedding anniversary next year.
I don't do new year resolutions but I'm always aiming higher and this year there's a whole lot to achieve: -
Body Fitness - so I'm back at the gym and I'm serious about my interval training...shopping will not get in the way of my routine. It's just after Christmas so I'm all shopped out anyway. And just to show how serious I am I have purchased a dress to wear to the wedding that I cannot fit into. Yes, you got me right...I can't fit into the dress - or to be more precise the zipper at the back is several inches away from reaching the top. Right now no amount of forcing it will get it up and I don't intend to because at my desirable and appropriate weight and fitness level...it will fit! It's my sister's wedding in April and my husband's and son's outfits coordinate with mine (my daughter is a flower girl) so you should realise how important this dress is to me. I'm getting into the dress! Period!
Career - still can't believe I did it. Last year something was missing from my career - passion! I'd simply lost enthusiasm for what I was doing in my current job and after job hunting I realised that I didn't just need a new place of work I needed to be stretched - with new challenges and new aspirations and I found this at Teach First. Now, this is going to sound wacky but when I first read about this opportunity online I ran downstairs to tell my husband (during that period I spent every night looking for the forementioned 'challenge'). I went to bed that night and dreamt that I got accepted - in my dream was the same office where I took my numeracy and literacy proficiency tests for teaching. I still couldn't believe it when Teach First called me to say I got through and now I just feel excited, very happy, very fortunate and very positive whenever I think about my new opportunity. I want to go far in education and I want to make a difference. Thank you God for giving me the opportunity to make this happen.
My future also holds opportunities for writing and I will make a promise to myself to begin by making regular contributions to my blog.
Have a wonderful day!
