Approaching a new year and a new you

2011 has been a very interesting year. It has had its ups and downs but I like to think mostly ups. I recently joined a progress on-line Sorority focusing on Academic Excellence and Life Long Learning. This opportunity was a natural fit for me as I am a student in life and of life. Learning has been filling a void of sadness that in the past I have struggled to overcome. Learning can be accomplished at you own pace, in your own space and time. Learning is an opportunity to leave everything else behind, or if you choose, take it with you. Learning opens doors and broadens your horizon. Learning is to the imagination what food is to the body and GOD to the soul. Feeling this way, you can see that a Sorority that emphasizes academic excellence and brilliance was a natural fit for me. This is a good things to focus on as you set goals or look toward the New Year. Where are you and where do you want to be. Make the next one your year to achieve new goals and close out some old ones. Figure out what matters most to you and develop a plan of action to accomplish it. Having Sisters throughout the United States and the world in an on-line organization is a great start for me. The motivation is outstanding and the Sisterhood is heartwarming. Maybe, just maybe this is what I was missing for most of this year. Looks like the next one is already off to a great start.
