Happy New Year Everyone…

Dreams, goals whatever you want to call them, they come from the deepest desire of your heart. The start of the New Year has a lot of people thinking about the past year, all the things they have lost or gained during that time and they start to make their plan of how they want their new year to be. Hands down 2018 was the most eventful year to date, I published my first novel, we lost someone very dear and close to us, my partner and I got engaged, I have discovered the truth about many people around me; the good and the bad, we experienced the highs and some of the lowest of lows and then I ended my year with a bang by taking a huge risk and that was giving notice to the company I have worked for for the past 6 years. Yes, some people think I am crazy and having a quarter life crisis as I was only 6 months off my long service leave kicking into gear but I have had the strongest feeling for some time now about moving on. Trying to find the time to write my second book, trying to get the current book off the ground, now blogging weekly and working full time I have felt it is all too much.

The genre in my books may be thrillers but I am known as the positivity fairy in my family and friends group as I am a huge believer in the universe, believing that one door must close for another to open. Dreams begin to crystallize when you go after them and I have decided I am going into 2019 fearless and taking the risks I have always been too afraid to take. I am trusting in my heart that if I put everything I have into this and surround myself with all the positive energy and trust in the magic of new beginnings it will happen and be okay. No risk, no reward! First, you must 100% believe in yourself and your dreams otherwise how can you expect anyone else to believe in them when you don’t? I have never wanted something as much as I want this future as a writer, nor did I think it was possible. I have always been so different from everybody else around me and only recently discovering this about myself. So I have decided to embrace it, trust in myself, be my different self, march to a different drum regardless of my critics and I am taking the road less traveled and not settling for anything less than exceptional.

2019 is a fresh start but is also the year of new beginnings, get outside, enjoy life and go after those dreams as life is too short to regret the time and the opportunities you have had.
