remember who you are...

while growing up, my mother often said; "remember who you are"....today i saw a sign at a client's house; "remember who you want to be"!!! how appropriate at this very time in my existence to turn around that constant lyric that has played in my ears for so many years into something new and fresh.

"remember who i want to be". as the new year rolled in, i sat down and made a couple of lists of what i hoped to achieve, accomplish, make happen this year... one list even spelled out, down to the details, the type of man i am looking for.

what i can tell you here and now... i want to be a better mom. a better friend. a better daughter. a better business woman. a better zumba instructor. take better care of myself. and even be a better girlfriend (once i find a boyfriend!).

i look forward to taking risks while i'm in the dominican. safe risks, that is. stepping out of my comfort zones, pushing myself to learn as much as i can, to try new things, to talk with and meet new people. santo domingo is going to be a big challenge. the north coast will be a big challenge for my friends, as they see me sit my butt in the sand, and only get up for a cold water! i'm not kidding.

"remember who i want to be"....i challenge you to the same.

buenas noches.
