my new favorite

This year has a new equation for me:

Gratitude + Focus + Action + Action =  JOY.

I didn’t finish the Reverb prompts since my work life became too busy, so I’m extending my month of reflection through January.  This is part of my new gratitude.  No more whining, no more feeling bad about projects left undone — only gratitude, focus, and action.  Anything else that inhibits these movements can hang out back in 2010.

Tonight, I welcome a New Year’s Eve with dear friends, the man I love, and awesome food.  Even though it is a small intimate dinner party at home I still decided to have a little hostess style.

And a purple sequin top from the GAP outlet (I can’t find a pic online, but I’m sure you can picture it).  Enjoy 2011.
