Goodbye 2011

by Tania Shipman on December 31, 2011

As I say Goodbye 2011, I have to look back to what I’ve accomplished. Wow, what a big year I’ve had.  It’s been very busy, especially the last 2 months of it and it’s finally finished.

Personal Life

In my personal life, I’ve become more aware of myself.  I know my faults, of which I have many, but this year I have embraced more of my strengths and acknowledged that I am an expert in many things.  2012 will be the year I really build on these strengths.  I’ve been coasting for many years, and after some mindset adjustments, I am learning to stop coasting, to get out and do, rather then think about it.

Working Life

At work, I’ve been confirmed as a permanent Service Coordinator for the position I’ve filled for over 3 years.  I was the Acting Branch Manager for a month and enjoyed that role.  I’ve been working with different teams then I usually do, which has required different skills, is very rewarding and has taught me a lot from the changes.  I’ve started a Diploma of Management.  This is a big undertaking but will be worth it.  I have more development to do with the Diploma and Leadership but I’m enjoying stretching myself.  Getting my head back into formal studying has been a stretch, but I’m on track with that too.

The Internet

This year I have been making money from the Internet.  Not as much as I want but I’m making money here and there.  2012 is the year I’ll be making money consistently and on a regular basis.  I have the tools and the skills, so it’s time to get into it.  I had a great year with the internet in 2011, 2012 will be awesome :D

Summary

I enjoyed 2011.  I had some great days, some horrible days, had some brutally honest assessments about myself, given by others and given by myself and really had fun during 2011.

I have set goals and I know where I want to head.  Now it’s time for me to get doing.

Goodbye 2011, you were a very interesting year.

See you soon, 2012.

No Internet Access

No Internet Access I suffered from No Internet Access this week. I attended a meeting for work at Nymboida.  The Nymboida Coaching Station Inn is lovely.  The rooms are huge, the food is great and the sounds of the water rushing over some little rapids outside my windows was stunning. The trouble is there was [...]

Why Blogging?

Why Blogging? Personally, I love that I can write my thoughts, my ideas and my passions where anyone interested can find them.  Blogging allows me to get my thoughts where people can choose to read them and if they like them, reply back to me and become a part of my community.  I love reading [...]
