dreaming big in 2010

I'm going to try to make this quick, because I promised myself I would be asleep by 11. I've been staying up until 2 or 3 during break, that won't fly tonight. I have to be up at 5:30 and I want to have as much energy as possible for my first day back.

I've been feeling kind of icky these past few days, really bad sore throat. I'm blaming it on my sleeping/eating schedule during break. I'm hoping this doesn't turn into strep.

Well, I'm back in Corktown and ready for 2010- kinda. I'm excited to be back and to take on the 2nd half of this adventure, but I could have used just a few more days to feel completly motivated again. I'm excited about making some changes, but a little anxious that maybe I'm not quite ready. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now. Here we go, 2010!

I've gotten a few comments about my blog recently. One was from a family friend, who said I was a "gifted writer". Another was from my little cousin Rachel, who said "you're talented" and the last one was from my friend Jena, who said "I just read three months of your blogs at once; commented on several. A-MA-ZING! WRITE . A . BOOK, or several.The world needs them." These meant a lot to me, especially because the idea of writing a book becomes more appealing every day. I would like to write one anxiety, and the things that have helped me overcome it. I want to help other people who may feel alone in their desperate times.

Also, the idea of moving to Nashville is becoming more and more real. I would move there tomorrow if I could. Sam and I are beginning to seriously talk about it and search for jobs there. Neither of us are comfortable moving there without finding decent jobs first. I promised my dad I wouldn't WORRY about finding a job yet, but he said I could start looking. Wish me luck, and pray for me. Pray that I follow God's plan and learn to listen to what He is saying. Pray that I continue to live out my service here in Detroit, and not lose focus.

So, those are my dreams. I'm really focusing on changing my attitude toward food. I'll be using www.thedailyplate.com . come join me!

I love you all and hope you have an amazing week. Wish me luck as it is my first week back!
