Goodbye 2009! We close on a joyful note. This is the part where I get sentimental and reflective... brace yourselves! My dear sister and I lived a mere 90 minutes from each other last winter (the closest since we lived at home); I experienced St. Patty's Day in true Irish fashion; I took in amazing amounts of theatre; attended (and missed) close friends' weddings; I drove from TX to CA and back with 3 of my favorite men in the world (brothers!); I attended a fancy ball in NYC; I moved my very own bed in NYC; I discovered that NYC is the most amazing and heart-wrenching place b/c you meet the best people in the world but sometimes they're only in your life for a season; I lost a dearly loved Gram; I witnessed an amazing amount of love unabashedly given through suffering and trials and the healing and comfort found through it; I roadtripped to Canada; I visited the amazing people of Copan Ruinas, Honduras; I reconnected with sooooo many people I absolutely treasure and all 8 Nelsons were able to congregate for a miraculous white Christmas in Texas!
I meet this year with great anticipation, b/c I've been waiting for this year since '06! Why? You might ask. Well, some of you may know that I spent a season of life in British Columbia, specifically Whistler. Some of you might also be aware that Vancouver (and Whistler) is the site for the upcoming Winter Olympics. So 2010 has been on my radar for some time now. Looking ahead to 2010 brings excitement of the unknown paired with a tinge of apprehension/anxiety. I will finish my training at the Esper Studio in June, my bank account is at an all time low, and I'm still living out of boxes! But this is precisely what makes my life in New York so hard, satisfying, unique, rewarding, unbelievable at times, unpredictable always, and entirely not my own.
Thank you for reading my randomness and I have made a resolution to write more.... so hold me to it!
