Good-bye 2009, hello 2010

I haven’t written for a while – 2009 ended badly and I couldn’t focus on my blog. I had a bad year in general in 2009, but I kept trying to keep my positivity going saying ‘there are many great things about 2009.’ Indeed there were many great things about 2009 that I am thankful for.

I almost finished my Smart Woman’s Breakup Book manuscript, and got great responses from the professional writers who edited it. I completed my writing diploma. I met many great people and had a wonderful time in the US again. I came back to NZ and moved into my wonderful house. I had my first wedding anniversary with my lovely husband. If you didn’t know me well, you would think I was living a dream life, but appearances can be deceptive.

But I also suffered through 6 miscarriages. My grief is so huge that it is beyond processing, and instead I have become numb. The last one started the week of Christmas, so you can understand how happy I was to say good-bye to 2009. 2010 is going to be much better. I know so many people who had a hard 2009 – what with the recession, but also many people going through personal crises as well. There are many of us saying ‘hello and welcome’ to the New Year.

You may well feel the same.

So I decided to start the blog this year writing about hopes and dreams – and goal setting to get you there! I need to be positive again – and I guess so do you. Let’s get on with building a better future!
