Happy 2009... Glad to see you
It's 5 hours and counting and I am elated with glee that a new year is ushering. I must say that lessons learned, friendships lost, friendships restored and opportunities missed and secured all made 2008... a year of growth and reflection.
Can't say that I will miss you. Go on with your bad self.
It was the year that I actually admitted that after giving birth to my daughter that I experienced some form of postpartum depression. Yes, I am far from perfect.
2008 made me actualize many things ...
1) the completion of my book, "You Want Caviar But Have Money For Chitlins ~ A Smart Do-It-Yourself PR Guide For Those On A Budget." The baby is a healthy 108 pages of do-it-yourself PR advice, getting TOP media folks to notice your product and increasing one's revenue stream. Pick up your copy in January at all outlets and especially - www.karentaylorbass.com. This is 7 years in the making --- a check off my list.
2) my office space in downtown Hempstead, LI, the empowerment zone
3) getting involved in the PTA -- this requires a lot of time and commitment
4) creation of my successful radio show on Blogtalk -- www.blogtalkradio.com//Caviar--Chitterling
5) admitting i am not superwoman, human with scars
6) taking the strong pill and being the 'PR Expert'
7) writing a check to the Obama campaign
8) giving my biological dad a chance to know me
9) being published in The Network Journal, Black Enterprise and the NY Daily News
*most importantly, appreciating and loving my husband and kids-- one of the purest gifts from God
things i wasn't proud of in 2008...
1) not realizing that I had bouts of postpartum depression (sooner)
2) being short fused with friends
3) settling... just because.
Well, its time to eat dinner and be thankful for all the new insights.
Here's to a blessed, prosperous and healthy 2009. Hear me ROAR.
Peace & Much Love,
Karen
