Slow Down Sister!

I haven't shared a layout in a while, so here is a funky one I did back in October for The Daisy Bucket. The journaling reads: I am loving Life @32. I feel more Confident and Content than every before. Complete happy family, growing faith, lovely home, trustworthy friends, fulfilling job and Joy! Amen!

This layout really kinds of sums up my 2006. It was a great one! One where I grew a lot! It was however, a very busy year too. Especially in the area of Work. The work was fulfilling, inspiring and constant till about the end of August. I learned my strengths and weaknesses through the constant stream of weddings, etc and I really can say I enjoyed 90% of it. However, this last few months have been slow. And surprisingly enough...I've loved it. I have gained a whole new perspective on my life and my past year. And I've decided to SLOW DOWN. Work will always be there, but life passes you by way to quick. Defining Details is not going away, I have just decided to revamp it a bit. Choose my clients, up my minimums so there might be less work, but the work that does come will be worth it financially, and market less. I'm not saying I am going to turn away clients, but I am just not going to go seek them as fervently as last year. (so yes, I will still take referrals friends!)

With that goal of slowing down I have thought of some other things I want to work on this year: And I am pleased to say working on my weight is not one of them! Yeah!

• Take more dates with my man.
• Say no without guilt.
• Invest more in the life of others.
• Organize my house.
• Develop good habits regarding house work ( hoping I'm not setting myself up with this one.)
• Practice my photography, take an online class maybe.
• Listen, Play, Teach, Pray with and Read to my Kids more.
• Make some time for God daily.
• Do my Bible Study homework (my girlfriends are all giggling right now)
• Enjoy life at a slower pace!

Happy 2007!
