All I wanted was to be able to blog on New Year's Day. I wanted to write the best recap of musings over 2010. I wanted to inspire the WORLD about all the good things that are yet to come in 2011.
Instead, I started three different blogs, felt like they weren't quite capturing it, and then am sharing them with the world anyway. And it feels good. It feels real. It feels like----ME!

1. Beginnings. I just sat here at the computer and wrote two beginnings to this blog. Kinda the same theme (ish), but then___________. Space. No conclusion to my thoughts. I find satisfaction when I can actually clearly present a thought. I begin a LOT of them, but only conclude a few.
The end of 2010, from August til December, has been a lot of beginning ideas, SOME of which ended up being tied up neatly bow, but most are just strewn about my life. But you know what? I've recently been re-learning the art of OPEN HANDS. The beauty of TRUST. And the adventure of RISKS!

2. I once wrote a newsletter article titled "connecting the dots." I explained how I was moving from Mexico to Peru...and how it all came to be.
2010 has turned out to be a year of so many MORE dots being connected. As I continue on in this life, it is undoubtedly clear to me that God finds great pleasure in connecting dots in my life.

3. Have you ever gone through sections of your life "dazed and confused"? Isn't it the most annoying thing? Wouldn't you rather be able to see clearly how events connect, relationships form, decisions are peacefully made? 2010 was a year where this awareness in me began to awaken!
*** A toast now to 2011--may there be some great endings (and of course, many more inspiring beginnings!)
