I am hoping that you will look at this picture and forgive me for not posting for so long! I mean how can you be mad when you are looking at a picture of Rocky in his Christmas jammies? Impossible.

Let me just say that 2010 was a rough year for me. Not a bad year, but a rough year. I struggled trying to find balance in my life, adjusting to being a working Mom, having two kids, not going to school. It has been tough. I am starting 2011 with a list of resolutions and a fresh perspective. For the first time in a long time I feel like I can breath again. I feel my creativity starting to flow back. I am sad to say that I did not paint at all in 2010. I hardly wrote. Heymae took a brief sabbatical in 2010 but she is back with a vengeance in 2011.

I just finished my list on 101in365.com with a whole slew of things to accomplish in 2011. Only now I keep thinking of more things I want to do this year and I am tempted to start a second list! So far I have crossed off two things and I have quite a few in progress!

So far I have done a headstand (it took a few tries!) and got a facial from my future aesthetician sister Rachel. I also started on my journey to listen to 365 new songs in 2011. So far I have listened to two:

“It looks like love” by Josh Rouse (*** 1/2)
“Hoppipolla” by Sigur Ros (** 1/2)

The *’s are my ratings for each song (out of 5 *s). You can listen to these songs and some other great songs here: 25 top Indie Songs of 2010

Here is to fresh starts!
