I have much to share and have been so very busy (hence the delay in blogging) but I I was out photographing some gorgeous spring blooms (and blossoms, birds, bicycles, bunnies and bees!) and felt that if nothing else, I should post something pretty to look at, so here goes:
I can’t believe it’s been a year since I first started this site, it feels completely surreal!
It has been such a huge year for me, the Seize The Day List literally changed my life! The highlights are on my quarterly updates:
But ultimately the biggest thing has been nearly fully overcoming anxieties that have plagued me for 10 years which was something that had been a huge battle but this year, with the help of a new nearly daily yoga practice (in the comfort of my own home!), revised eating habits and having a more stimulated and focused mind.
So no, I didn’t complete the entire list!
I’d say I’m disappointed but I have literally achieved more this year than I ever thought was possible so the fact that I couldn’t squeeze everything in is not something I’d even consider beating myself up about, this year has just been too productive to care. In actuality, I will try to squeeze those activities in to 2013 so at least I satisfy those particular plans.
So 2013 is going to be a little bit different from 2012.
As much as I adored the list and what it brought to me, I’m still learning what works for me and what I want to do with my time. So from 2012 I’ve gained a lot of self-discipline (blogging every day and achieving plans will do that) and with those newly acquired skills, I’ve decided that 2013 I want to truly workout what I’m doing with my life and also find a way to earn money from self employment (part time initially but I would like to build it up in the long run).
As I’m still not entirely sure of the direction I want to go in, I know that I’ll need to read more, study more and commit a lot of time and energy to this but I know that this is how I want to further my self-development and I’m so excited to try it.
I’ll keep blogging with with my plans and progress as they develop and I’m hoping to spend more time on Primal Zest this coming year, which has been something I didn’t really have a lot of time to do this year because of my commitment to daily blogging on Life Starts, I don’t know if that will end up being something I can use as an income source but it is absolutely something I want to take further regardless because I truly believe that the Primal/Paleo lifestyle make such a difference to life.
Here’s to 2013!

Yesterday I tried to squeeze in another list item and did my day without TV and in all honesty there’s not much more to say than when you have a stimulating enough life (be it mentally stimulating by learning, developing yourself or helping others, physically stimulating by exercising or even simply the stimulation of seeing amazing things, missing tiny things like TV is really really not a big deal!
Not to say I don’t enjoy sitting down and relaxing in front of it occasionally but in all honesty, I feel much better if I’m doing something more constructive and this year has really shown me that!
Definitely one of the easiest things on the list!!!
Happy New Year!
Love
Jen
