Overview of 2009

2009 has been a wonderful year for me, both personally and artistically. Though things right this second are up in the air I feel as if this year has been both productive and a major learning curve for me. There are many things which I am proud of, and here is a selection of the high lights for me:

- Firmly establishing Random Acts, and building on the roots we put down in 2008.

- Realising what I want to do with my life, which is to be a creative bunny.

- Meeting so many wonderful people, many of whom I am proud to have kept in contact with.

- Doing new and fab photography. Indeed, 2009 has been the year in which I learnt a fantabulous new skill, and found myself enjoying a new strand on creativity.

- Getting a third of my novel written, and the impetus to get the rest done.

- Realising that Jo is a warm and wonderful person, and I am honoured to call her my best friend.

- Knowing that no matter how bleak life looks, if you keep your chin up then you will find a way through.

- Finding Confident Ladies, and realising that there are like minded people out there.

- Finally, and probably most importantly, getting a huge kick up the arse by the people that matter to me, which has shown me what I need to do.

Random Acts will grow and develop in 2010, and I am sure that by this time next year I will have plenty more things to cheer about. In the mean time I want to say a big thank you to all the people who have given their time, energy, and effort for me, and I hope that in return I have given them something to be proud of as well.

I raise my glass to you all, and say a toast of heartfelt thanks.
