Soul searcher: Out with old and in with the new!

Wow! Almost a new year! It's seems as if this year just started and we're already starting a whole new year! 

I've already been so blessed. It's been a tough year, but with that being said, I'm really looking forward to a new year! I believe this next year is going to be our best year yet! Don't you agree?!

I mean, there were highlights I really loved! (New York & a niece, anyone?) But if I were to start this year over I would do a few things differently! But what's done is done, right?! This year seemed to be kinda stagnant to me, until the end... Then things picked up, I felt inspired again and I really have a vision of what I need to do in the future. So all in all it was a good year, it just was a bit weird, I guess! 

But the highlights were amazing! I loved the highlights! 

Are you already making a New Years resolution? I sort of am too! But let's be realistic together. Because sometimes I set these goals and within a month I'm already kicking myself for not sticking to the "plan"! Reality is key in getting stuff done that needs to be gotten done. 

Not saying you can't do the things on your list, but you may need some supernatural powers to progress yourself in that thing you're trying to get done! (Which with God all things are possible) but just try and be realistic. Losing 100lbs in two months is not realistic unless you have a medical issue with your body... Which isn't good! But writing down that you would like to get yourself to lose about 50lbs(?) by July is a healthier way to not fail at a resolution. The first step is finding the lifestyle way of eating and exercising and start from there! It's not a bad thing to take time to become healthy. Or to mark off something that's on your resolution that you would like to accomplish before the year is over! I think it's fun to be able to accomplish those dreams. 

A few things that I would like to accomplish this year, would be:

Get my jewelry line in at least 3 stores/ boutiques around the country.

Go zip lining 

Have my head shots taken by my favorite photographer Meshali.

And Travel to Europe. 

These are only a few of things I'd like to do this year(I have more, but bore you with them)! But it's a great start, right?! I encourage you to write down things you want to do and accomplish and then do them! 

This next year, I don't want to have any regrets! I want to be fearless(but not stupid!) and I want to be BOLD! 

Be bold with me! 

Love you all,  see you in the new year!

Thankful Thursdays!

Today starts the series of Thankful Thursdays!!!  Are you ready? 

I'm grouping two very important things in my life together, because without one of them the other one wouldn't exist. And this may sound cliche to you, but I'm very fond of both! 

1. God. Without him, I couldn't do what i love doing. I wouldn't have a fabulous  God-fearing family. And I would probably be drained all the time! My life is amazing because of God! He's so so good to me! My passion & dreams are so much richer because of having a relationship with Him. Not saying it has always been easy, but my life has a purpose!

And 2. I'm thankful for my family! You would think that I'm Italian, but I'm not!  I love how it has evolved. How I have great parents, who would go to ends length to help me out. A mom who will converse with me, teach things to me & run errands with me. And a dad who will help me with power tools! You mean the world to me! And i love you. For my sisters, even though they can irritate me royally, I still love them. They are some of the best women I know, all three of them! For my brother-in-laws, I know at least one of them would drop almost anything he was doing, if I called for help! He's such an awesome guy & super funny too!

The other one is pretty awesome too. He's harder to get to know, but I'm seeping in! I'll love him, whether he loves me or not. But I'm pretty sure that when I bring a guy home, my two brother-in-laws (and most likely my sisters) will infact threaten the safety of his own life if he should even think about harming one strand of hair on my head! Beware guys! Haha! 

For my nephews & niece, I love each of you so so much! You are so valuable to me!

And of course I love my dog Graycie, she's such a great doggy! 

So those are only some of the things that I'm thankful for! What are some things you are thanful for?!

 Until next week! Keep a thankful heart! -Ryn
