Ho Ho Ho

Hey, if you read the past few days' journal entries it probably looks like I'm in a pretty rough mood.  Actually there's another hour left to Christmas 2024, and I feel pretty great.

A lot has changed for me this year.  I didn't accomplish exactly what I hoped to in terms of my writing.  But I changed my life in excellent ways.  And that will make my writing and personal goals much easier to accomplish overall.

One very important thing that happened:  I reconnected with Big Dom's niece.  I'm glad to say that she was not close to my mother this whole time.  I had it wrong.  She and I have been going over details, comparing notes.  There were so many lies.  It's an extreme amount of mental and emotional recalibration for both of us.

2025 is going to be pretty big for me.  I'm not sure exactly what will be in store.  But I'm upping my game with different money making projects.  I hope to get the Wendy book edited this year.  Maybe I will make it an official goal to get it published by her birthday this year in July.

I notice that I've changed a lot.  I take better care of myself now.  I'm better at setting boundaries, and asking for what I want.  I don't care if people don't like me anymore.  I'm more comfortable seeking out things that I need, asking for help and resources.  I'm getting more flexible emotionally and mentally, more willing to shift gears and do things differently.  The changes have felt really good.  I've been taking risks, considering new options, and trying new things.  I like it.
