The Musings of Faith

Today is the last day of 2010 and it has been an amazing year for me. I experienced so much growth professionally that I never saw coming. I attended my first traders conference and met many of the folks that I admire and follow on Twitter. I even met some of my own followers which made me feel like a pseudo-celebrity lol. I became editor of a forex blog. I was invited to co-author a finance book. I had to create a fan page. For myself. BlackTree has turned into an awesome investment as it grows and expands into both domestic and international markets. And I ended the year with amazing opportunities to further my trading career in ways that I never imagined. This year was all about conquering fears and feelings of inadequacy to embrace opportunity and new experiences.

Personally, I celebrated a 2nd year of marriage. I fought for my children’s elementary school to remain open (and we won!). I became more active in their education both at their school and at the district level. I learned that being a wife and mother is the most rewarding and hardest thing on this planet. Period. I learned that though I can be all things to my children and husband, I still need help and I need balance.

I am learning how to be a better friend. I am learning to go after what I want. I am learning to say no. This has been the year of increase and I never could have imagined the journey that God had for me this year. I look forward to 2011 knowing that 2010 was the catalyst for it all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
