There’s no other way to put it: 2009 was a year full of growth and learning. It was a beautiful and rough year, but one of the happiest years of my life. I feel like I’m on track, honing my skills and gaining a tighter focus on my vision. I’m also learning a lot about patience!
Ok, so I made 5 resolutions for 2009.
In 2009 I resolve to worry less about the things I can’t control.
In 2009 I resolve to devote more energy to projects that help society.
In 2009 I resolve to spend more time with family.
In 2009 I resolve to become more self sufficient, producing more of the goods I consume and using less.
In 2009 I resolve to be more courageous when pursuing my dreams.
How did I do?
In 2009 I resolve to worry less about the things I can’t control.
Well, I can say that I still worry. Do I worry less? Maybe. I think I worry about different things. This may need to be a resolution for 2010.
In 2009 I resolve to devote more energy to projects that help society.
This one was def met! The whole focus for Republic of Austin is on connecting people in Austin. Molotov Mocktail, the next site, takes what we’ve learned and are learning with Republic of Austin and brings it to a national level to focus on self sufficient and sustainable living.
In 2009 I resolve to spend more time with family.
Before I moved from SF, I spent more time with my older brother and his wife. Miss them so much. My younger brother and his wife moved from Austin to Chicago, BUT my cousin Ben moved to Austin! It’s been great hanging out with him, and I look forward to spending more time with him! Now if only my other cousins and my older brother would move to Austin!

I think I may have failed this one. Image may be NSFW.

In SF I was really good about composting, recycling and cutting consumption. In Austin, my housemates haven’t been very supportive of those things–and it makes a huge difference. Gonna need to make this a resolution in 2010, fer shure. But Molotov Mocktail should help that!
In 2009 I resolve to be more courageous when pursuing my dreams.
If there was one resolution that sums up my 2009 experience, it’s this one. I left the comfort of San Francisco to move to Texas and work on building a media company. It’s been an amazing experience. 2010 is definitely going to be amazing. I can feel it.
