2010 goes on record as being a great year for me professionally. I hit 3 of my 5 goals i had set aside, the remaining 2 will be forwarded on into the new year. In 2011 i also hope to focus more on family and personal goals.
Year in review includes: Landing a job with Virgin Radio Vancouver 95.3FM, coordinating events with Hudson's Bay Co for the 2010 Winter Games and Paralympic games at a store level in the Olympic Superstore, adding a new bundle of joy to the family with the birth of my nephen Xavier : ) Travelling to San Francisco for the perfect getaway with my mom, landing a job as the PNE Reporter for CBC Vancouver and then as the Weather Host with CBC Vancouver. Heading to sunny Cancun for a trip with my wonderful Husband, then jetting off to France for a few weeks to write and produce with Winesense TV. Drinking wine and eating copious amounts of cheese - so fun! Also celebrated a milestone birthday this year.
This year was fabulous and 2011 has big shoes to fill! Looking forward to a new year filled with love, happiness and good health. Wishing you a great year ahead!
Remember if you set those goals, even program them into your phone, it stays top of mind.
How will you be celebrating? If you need ideas, here is how New Year's Eve is celebrated around the world!
Enjoy and be safe!

New Year's Eve Around the World:
In South Africa: partygoers throw refrigerators, beds and trash cans out of tall buildings before launching fireworks at neighboring buildings.
In Scotland: partygoers partake in a tradition called "fireball swinging," where they create big balls out of chicken wire, tar, paper and other flammable materials. They then set them on fire before walking through pedestrian-jammed streets.
In Venezuela: partygoers wear yellow underwear for good luck
In France: partygoers celebrate New Year's Eve with a feast called "Le Reveillon de Saint-Sylvestre". They drink champagne and eat foie gras.
In Ecuador: partygoers use wood, newspapers and rags to make human figures that they then set on fire. Most of the human figures are modeled after local politicians.
In Spain: partygoers eat 12 grapes when the clock strikes midnight.
In Greece: partygoers hide a gold coin inside a St. Basil's Cake. Whoever finds the coin receives good luck in the coming year.
In Turkey: partygoers dine on a traditional New Year's Day turkey.
In Canada: ???? Nothing listed, but whatever you do have a good one! All the best in 2011

That sounds like a pretty great year, congrats on everything, and all the best for 2011!
ReplyDeleteMy goals are to focus more on school, a new site I'm launching on 1/1/11, and quality over quantity in general. Loved 2010 but totally overextended myself from October-December; my 19yo brain had a hard time keeping up :S
