Keeping the Plates Spinning

People who know me would agree I have always been an optimist.

But, I am feeling incredibly optimistic at the beginning of 2015.  I am not really sure why, but I have a feeling it has to do with an incredibly important project I am currently working on (hush-hush for now, but hopefully more info to come soon!).  That project is propelling me to become more invested in other projects I have sidelined for far too long.

The creative bug has been biting me for quite some time, but I have not allowed myself to become infected.  Mostly this is due to demands of family and chasing an education and career.  However, I can no longer deny the reality that I need to create something!

So, without giving in to the cliched New Year's Resolutions concept, I am renewing my dedication to projects I have ignored for too long.  I am refocusing my vision.  I am choosing to remain positive, even when the opportunities I am chasing do not immediately materialize.  These opportunities WILL yield results even if it is not on my perception of the right schedule.
