Portland Christmas

Christmas Greetings!

Reconnecting

Hello again! It's been a while......I know..... I've been diligently chipping away at several new projects. Some for money. Some for pleasure. And as I sit here in my bright living room next to my sweet and fragrant Christmas tree, it's time to reconnect. The year's end is a traditional time to cast a grateful glance back over the previous 365 days before joyfully greeting the new year with fresh goals and a reborn anticipation of incredible things to come. 

I've been a Scrooge with my time. Here's why:  

1. 9-5 - Still love it. Training new people. I was also assigned to an extremely important client. Gives me excited butterflies in my tummy every time. :)

2. Entrepreneur - Software development (HUGE learning curve here. Basically takes 2hrs per day. Every day. Getting in a rhythm is waaaay harder then it sounds.)

3. Modeling/Acting - This is a seriously involved process. Replying and posting and repeating. Definitely a pastime with the slim glimmer of hope that something may come of it. If not, I still love to dress up. <3

4. Custom Conferences - With one of my best videographers/directors, I'm launching a new service over Skype involving hypnosis. Intrigued? ;) You should be. Nothing dirty....all fantasy. 

5. Fitness - I know this is a lifestyle, but it really needs it's own line item since it is a time-sucker. Acupuncture, reflexology, and chiropractic services have changed my LIFE! Massage too.

Can't help it. Have to share my current chimera. 

Just yes....

Yuletide

Now that I've got that out of my system (for now!), let me show you how I celebrated. Kept it simple. No time or space for immediate family drama or craziness. So glad I took a little extra time to make my little nest warm and cozy. What do you think? I'll keep this short and just post up the pics. Wish you all a lovely Holiday and hope to see more of you in 2013!
