And Now Is The Winter Of Our … 2010

January 16, 2010 By: Leslie Category: Life

2010 is already showing signs of zipping by every bit as quickly as 2009 did. I don’t really make “resolutions”, per se, but I do take words and hold them as goals, taking an almost meditative approach to improving myself.

ONE: In 2008 I vowed to lose weight. I needed to lose 80 pounds. I’m only 40 into it after two hectic years of working my ass off at… work. Now that my work is reaching a rhythm and growing it’s time to reach that goal. To do that I need to meditate on the word: Balance. I need to do a better job of balancing my schedule to fit in time for my health and well being. Only if I force myself to balance things better will that happen. The issue I run into is that to me my work is FUN – so much fun. To some I’m a workaholic, but I just love it. Down time just doesn’t appeal to me, I like to go-go-go. So, word one this year: BALANCE.

TWO: The second meditation word for 2010 is GLOBAL

The back story for word two is private, but I think between those two words, I should have my hands full in 2010, don’t you?

Though word one is about more than weight, for illustrative purposes with the goal of taking another photo comparison at year end as part of that:

Current me after sporadic dieting and sporadic exercise since 2008:

Did You Know?

September 03, 2009 By: Leslie Category: Life, Linky Goodness

I have a new book in the works.

I am trying to get three panels into SXSW. You can see them and vote on them with these links and descriptions over here. Voting ends tomorrow.

I now have someone helping me behind the scenes at Uptown Uncorked, Michelle Wolverton, and I’m really excited about it.

I haven’t had time to read a non-work book in months (and I’m REALLY looking forward to the first one I get to read, whatever it may be).

What are your “did you know”s for today?
