Gonna move it on
And be strong
To see the day I can FEEL
This is part of the lyrics to a song I wrote years ago and the blog post heading is it’s title. I’ve been revisiting this song because I’m going to release it this year after sitting on it forever. Considering all that I’ve learned in the past year it’s rather amazing to me that I “knew” certain tools for empowerment and the reasons why we must take steps to not only survive but thrive – yet still wasn’t quite connecting the dots.
I had a different blog post written three days ago that was scheduled to post this morning but it’s disappeared into the ether. I’m pulling my database and will hopefully retrieve it. This just goes to show you that even when you prepare unexpected things can happen. We’ve got to roll with the punches. In 2010 it is my wish that we all disengage from the old ways that aren’t working and adopt a new way of thinking and doing.
This year the resolution should be care of self and let it be a revolution against anything that blocks your own path to enlightenment, fulfillment and achievement. Let’s reclaim our JOY! I have some recommendations for ways you may do that.

Happy New Year Faith! I hope to hear your song one day.
Nia: Happy New year and New You! Thanks. I’m working on the song because as always we need media that uplifts not degrades us. I can contribute something positive so I must get on the ball. Thanks!
Yay! Go girl!
And I’m doing the Building on the change workshop–I’m so excited!
Happy New Year!
Glad to hear! Happy New Year and best wishes to you as well.
