(okay it's only like 3 weeks late, but hey better late than never)
Even though I'm 3 weeks late, I still want to write down my goals for the year. Sometimes I feel like my goals are bigger than myself, but it's important to dream, right?
1. Care more & love more - Near Christmas time last year my dad had a heart attack. He ended up having to have triple bypass surgery, and is doing great now! It just made me realize how important phone calls, texts, letters and how time spent with family & close friends is the most important thing in life, because you never know what will happen to someone you love and life is too short not tell someone you love them.
2. Eat less processed foods - I've been reading too much about how these "drugs" can damage your belly, your brain and overall wellbeing… and I'm trying to lose about 10-15 lbs
3. Blog more - This sounds stupid, but I really want to get into sharing memories and sharing recipes too! Eventually, like in 10 years, want to have a cute restaurant or something & blogging about food will help me do this!
4. Become independent from my parents - Almost there, just need to pick up some more bills from them!
5. Skydive in Dubai - I'm so fortunate to be able to go to Abu Dhabi next month for training school for work, and Dubai is like an hour away from there, so of course I want to do something crazy there!
6. Scorpion Pose in Yoga- I've been practicing yoga for about 5-6 months now continuously, but on and off for about 6 years (mostly off in those 6 years). I definitely feel an improvement and can get into trickier poses, so for this year my goal is to be able to do the scorpion-for those of you who don't practice, it is basically where you are on your forearms, in a hand stand and you flip your legs all the way over to touch your head, like a scorpion haha. I'll be very hopeful about this one.
7. Eat at a fancy restaurant that I paid for myself - Because I love food, and want to treat my friends and family, instead of someone or my parents, always treating me
8. Go places I've never been with zero expectations - Because YOLO, lol.

Cheers to 2014, let's live it up!
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well worn path; and that will make all the difference” – Steve Jobs, Stanford commencement speech, June 2005
Peace & Love,
