Happy New Year! I hope everyone rang it in safely. Gosh, I sound like my mom. Anyway, a New Year often means new beginnings. A time to start over and try new things. My first new things in 2013 is a cleanse. Okay, before everyone starts freaking out ... just relax! It’s only for three days and I can cheat if I want. I mean I don’t want to, but if necessary I can munch on celery. My best friend is probably gagging right now because she hates celery and she knows how much I love it ... with Easy Cheese on it! I guess if I cheat I won’t be putting any of that creamy, cheesy goodness on the stalk. I’m excited though. I love to nibble on food all day and talk about food a lot. So having 6 juices a day should be challenging. I don’t know what to expect either. Not knowing makes this cleanse a little scary too. The good news is that I have support because a group of us are doing this together and cheering each other on! Go team!
We are doing the BluePrint Cleanse ... which I find fitting considering it’s kind of like making a blue print for the year. Right? Okay, I don't know if that makes any sense to any of you but I get it. We all like to map out our days or years to some extent. Anyway, I have no idea where I’m going with this.
Bottom line is that this year, for me, is about trying new things and taking risks ... physically and emotionally. Last year I took some baby risks and tried new things that I now can’t imagine living without. This year, I wanna just do and try even more things that I typically would run away from. If it wasn’t for me trying and doing new things last year I wouldn’t have met so many great people. I wouldn’t have moved to New York. You only live once. So my goal is to step out of my comfort zone at least once every week ... even if whatever I decide to do makes me freak out a bit. That’s good. Because to quote a few great musicals (Seriously. You didn’t think I’d write a blog without some Broadway tie):
“How do we know who we are if don’t cross the line?”
“To live in fear is not to live at all.”
And if you need some insipration or just one smile ... take a look at Rachel Potter’s new video! If you're in New York go check her out in Evita!
