The last few years have been good but I have been letting 'life' just happen to me. I have been going with the flow not really taking charge of my life. This is the year for me to stop sitting back and watching but to take a hold of the reigns and LIVE FULLY.
I read this recently and it really struck me...
First I was dying to finish High School and start college. And then I was dying to finish college and start working. And then I was dying to marry and have children. And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough so I could go back to my career. And then I was dying to retire. And now I am dying...and I suddenly realized that I forgot to live.

This is going to be my year to LIVE FULLY.
Live passionately.
Live out loud.
Live without fear.
Live in focus.
Live in the present.
Live with a love for life.
Live with intention.
LIVE FULLY!

WOW! I love that story and I love your post! Im with you all the way girl, watch out 2008 it's time to live!
I really enjoyed your recent posts, particularly about saying "goodbye" to all the things that knocked us down in 2007. Here's to owning 2008!
That is a perfect goal! It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from last year. "She {insert 'Jodi'} designed a life she loved."
I totally agree! This year is the one to start living in. Come what may, live it.
I'm glad I'm your friend and can tag along with you, and maybe learn a thing or two:)
I love it! That is the thing I needed to hear. Thank you for reminding me to live for the here and now and not just think of what might have been or what might be - you are awesome!
Love you Jodi! Once again, an inspiring post.
Loved the goodbye and hello posts. I love the thought of "owning" 2008. What a great attitude.
