an honest post

This seems to be my most recent mantra I find myself repeating {talking to myself has become fairly normal lately}.  This new year already seems to have brought a lot of change.  Changes with work {stressful}, and stewing changes with the blog.  As in, I'm stewing on them.  Do you ever contemplate doing a bit of an overhaul on your life?  Because really, that's where I feel I stand today.

And I wanted to share just that bit of my thought process, because I recognize I have slipped a little in terms of posting more often than not here.  I have a backlog of recipes I'd like to share, a restaurant crossed of my 2012 Dining Wish List, and many other posts in the works.  But none of it seems quite right, because I'm not sure where my focus is, or where I want my focus to be.  And I'm quite determined to go through the process to discover this, my focus. I'm just trying to recognize that it's a journey and not a sprint.  And it's a bumpy journey, with twists and turns and a rough road ahead.

In the past I've been a bit of an impulsive decision-maker in a way.  I decide I want to do something, so I go out and do it.  I recognize action is a usually a good thing, and this is the step that can seem paralyzing for some, but for me, I want more reflection before action.  I want to lay out a strategy so my actions all align to my end goal.  I want to take action with intention, not action on impulse.

And I'm not telling you it is going to be easy, I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.
