Goodness me. Where has the year gone? Does anybody know? It’s frightening.

I am too excited for words about 2011, I feel like jumping out of my own skin. And I can’t even begin to tell you how much I am looking forward to sharing it with you guys. I really, really do. So this is a little see-ya-later and enjoy-your-holidays post.

For those of you who will be online during the next two weeks, I have prepared a special little post series which will be running over the holiday break, starting from next Monday. The series is a collection of my favourite and most popular posts in various categories I cover. I thought that this would give you a chance to dig through the archives if you are a recent comer, or if you are the type of person who likes to read through their ‘diary’ and reflect back on the year that’s behind us (which is me all over). I will be back on deck on January 10th when I will resume with regular posting.

 

 

Until then, yellowtrace wishes you Extremely Happy Holidays and here’s to an outstanding 2011. I hope that you all take the time to set some big goals for the year ahead, so that you may put yourselves in the best position to seize any opportunity that may come your way. Remember that most opportunities in life are created, so think about all that you can do to attract all the things you truly want. And as corny, esoteric and new-age as it sounds, I am a firm believer that what you put out to the world, be it conscious or subconscious, is what will be returned to you. Think of your energy, your focus and specific intentions, and laser point them towards that which you truly want. Then work out specific steps to make it happen.

I very much look forward to hearing about and sharing in your success.

With love,

p.s. For all iPad users out there, I came across the coolest app the other day called Flipboard. It’s free and it’s awesome and it makes Facebook and Twitter look like a magazine. You can also follow certain sites and specific twitter users. So, if you are so inclined – you can add @yellowtrace to your list and you will be able to flip through a pseudo yellowtrace magazine combining lots of visual candy. Do it – it’s fun. Promise! Yeah, ok. I’m definitely going now. Bye!

    Now you have me all inspired. I think I’ll write some new years resolutions for 2011, and not just lose 5kgs like every other year! There are some goals that I actaully want to achieve next year and I’m just trying to work it all out now. I’m looking forward to hearing about your plans for 2011!

    Have a lovely holiday!

    I’ve been following your blog for nearly a year and I gotta say… You’re Choice! Every post is value and I’m never disappointed. *Jack Nicholson voice* you make me want to be a better blogger *end scene* Haha.

    I have no doubt 2011 will be a prosperous year for you (and dare I say myself) and I look forward to seeing what the new year brings!
