Well, well well, I nearly let it go, but no..here I am again, ready to face the new year with zest and vigour.

It's been too long since I began, but I have returned and I am determined to continue. I am simply going to say goodbye to the previous year (or is it two), and begin again. Too much has happened but I want to continue, I need to continue...so here I go.

I am starting 2011 with a creative tone, but I also want to add bits about my life, especially with my two beautiful girls as they are my inspiration. But the most relevant and poignant aspect of my life as it is, is the ominous prospect of turning 40! Yes, that's right I will shout it here where few people can see it yet, so it is really only a whisper or a rumour as yet. I am turning 40 in exactly two weeks, and I am not happy. I feel I have let too many opportunities pass me by, missed too many amazing moments, hiding away from life and hiding within my own fears and anxiety. No more excuses, not any more. I dont want to live a life of regret and 'what if's". I want to live a life that is rich and full, where I truly embrace my achievments more than I do now, where I appreciate my loved ones, family and friends, and have the energy to fully immerse myself in my creative pursuits.

So, as it happens, I am going to document my achievments, my glories, my stories, my sadness and my love...all in an open format for the whole wide world to see...oh really, what am i thinking...
