…and I’m Feelin Good…

For those that know me I’m a fan of music.  All music.  It motivates me, calms me, inspires me.  I do a ‘self-check’ often to ensure my attitude is where it should be and from that I’m usually reminded of a lyric.  In the song FEELIN’ GOOD there is a passage that goes:  “It’s a new dawn, It’s a new day, It’s a new life for me….and I’m feelin good…”  LOVE THAT! 

Heading into 2011 is an exciting time.  Its presenting opportunities that I never saw coming as well as the ability to focus on previous goals.  2010 wrapped up stronger than ever with coordinating ThinkChristmas.  As a director at ThinkReferrals Business Network (TRBN) I threw myself at the chance to coordinate such a great initiative.  The experience came with a lot of issues but the return was amazing.  The members of TRBN were champions!  By joining forces we managed to sponsor 15 families across the lower mainland and provide them with a Christmas they may  not have had otherwise.  Through this exercise I learned a ton!  About myself, about an organization, and truly made lifelong friends.  As much was given through ThinkChristmas, I was given so much more in return and met truly amazing people. 

It is my 2011 mission to continue this initiative with a much more focused outlook.  ThinkChristmas will be an all year tradition at TRBN.  We will be raising funds and awareness to ensure that the 2011 ThinkChristmas will be an even greater success.  In order to do that I’m starting with a focus on me.  Yup, all about me.  Gotta get in shape, clear the clutter, and any other cliche that fits.  I’m starting it with ThinkFitness (www.facebook.com/ThinkFitness).  The only way I will be able to accomplish all I am taking on in 2011/2012 is to be in the best possible shape physically and mentally.  So this is my declaration!  I will maintain a healthy mind, and a healthy body because it will allow me to give back so much more!  My message:  Through hope, faith and hard work we will accomplish anything we put our minds to.  It is a new dawn, a new day, a new life for me….and I’m feelin’ good!
