Im not really into saying what’s going to be done/changed in the New Year. everyone’s going crazy with these ‘to-do’ lists, and frankly, im over it. it’s just another day. what I will do differently is not talk about it, but be about. Ive learned so much about myself this year, and I am so thankful for that. the “revamped” me will be carried on into 2010 with the biggest lessons Ive learned:
- fear is NOT an option. if you want to do something or make a difference, you have to believe in you and take the initiative to do what you need to do in order to be successful. be faithful!
- live everyday as if it were your last. life is too short. everyone says this but doesn’t really take heed until it hits close to home. we’ve lost too many people this year, near and far.
- never let another person bring you down. if you believe in yourself and your dreams, that’s all that matters. if they don’t, kick rocks! surround yourself with positive people and people who are actually making moves. motivation is key.
- LOYALTY, HONESTY, TRUST. if you don’t possess any of these characteristics, GTF. my circle has gotten smaller by the months, and it will continue to decrease if you’re not solid and if I cant count on you.
Ive met a lot of dope people this year. Im thankful for that. my [ANS] blog has opened relationships that were never formed before. Im thankful that. 2010 can only get bigger and better, but that’s up to me. and it is. it’s up to me and only me to stay focused, take my [would be] regrets as lessons learned and keep pushing to where I want and need to be. hope you all do the same. good luck on YOUR year. ♥

The ULTIMATE Dessert Experience.
Last week, my parents' company, Miller Thyme Catering, had a dessert tasting and it was such a success! Thanks to all who came out and gave feedback. Much appreciated!! If I invited you and you didnt come, 2010 may not be looking too good for us. :o|
Special thanks to Dr. Elliot Willard, City Councilwoman Cynthia Willard-Lewis, and District-E City Council candidate Alicia Plummer. ♥

LMFAO Live @ HOB.
Omg, I love LMFAO. I had been anticipating this concert for months! I knew it would be on some other ish -- and it was. A lot of people are like, "Who is LMFAO?" You know!! The dudes who made "I'm In Miami, B*tch!" which was the song in the opening credits for "Kourtney & Khloé Take Miami." But, they're much more than that song. If you missed this concert, that sucks! New Orleans has never seen such a bomb show! Über fun. The house was packed, wall to wall, and sold out! I love live concerts like these.
Check out the pics:
Videos coming soon. ♥
