christmas lights2008 was an amazing year for me, and I was blessed millions-fold (if that’s possible). My life is amazing, I have so much love and so many good things. I have discovered real passions and direction and seen guidance and pushing in my business and the things I love. It was also a hard year with the continued struggle of my family with health problems like grandma’s cancer. It was also the year of cats/kittens and so many animal rescues!

On that note, my personal new years resolutions this year are:

To lose the 20+ lbs I’ve put back on
To get into a real regular devotional schedule with my new ESV Study Bible (waiting for the leather bound to come in)
To spend more time with my grandparents, especially my grandma
To complain a lot less, and go out of my comfort zone to be with others, do things I may not want to do, and help and love as Christ loves me
To really really really stick to our gazelle/dave ramsey plan and pay off our student loans by this summer.
To sign up for PNC virtual wallet :-)
To establish a great personal/business balance in working from home
To volunteer at an animal shelter or some animal organization around town 
Babies/talking/thinking/maybe 

My business new years resolutions this year are:

To increase my pricing confidently (it’s almost ready to go) and push puremotif, my freelance business in every direction, everything I can do
And on that note, to continue to expand my business, and not say no to any work that comes my way because of guilt or fear I can’t do it,shouldn’t do it, someone else is doing it or i don’t deserve it. I studied hard and went through four years of college in graphic design, art and photography to do all the things i love
To alter my contracts and make sure I’m covered legally in all my business ventures
To learn the ins and outs of my new camera
To not break any more lenses
To learn and become excellent at using my flash
To network with other photographers and designers and create great working relationships
To spend my business money wisely and only on essentials
To keep business and friendship completely separate
