Better than Gifts of the Magi!

Happy New Year, friends!

I am SO READY that I hit the ground running! (No, seriously--I tried to work on Monday, and apparently it was a 'bank holiday.' What kinda hogwash is that?!)

But aside from being PUMPED for the next 12 months, I have to share with you like a 5-year-old.


!!!!I GOT PRESENTS!!!!!

Here were my top *2* this year!

2. A Melodica.

What is a melodica, you ask? It's a delightful merging of a recorder and a piano. It's AMAZING. AND it can do this:



Yeah, I'm gonna learn a lot of bizarre songs and play them. All the time. THANKS MOM!



1. MY VERY OWN STAR IN URSA MAJOR, SNITCHES.

My bestie got me a STAR immediately south of the Big Dipper. She's big into meanings, and this was her logic: She didn't want to get me a zodiac star, because that seemed too cliche and predictable. So she looked into the other major constellations (Cassiopeia, etc.), and she discovered that the Great Bear constellation (Ursa Major) is seen as the strongest and most powerful in the sky.

She's immensely supportive of me and my career, and she knows exactly how to motivate me even more than I already am (nearly an impossible task)! She got me a powerful star in a powerful, fame-laden constellation. :)

To add more Awesome to this? She was able to send up a message for me. She asked me about my favorite Living Mantras, which are gracious tools from my career coach, Dallas Travers, and sent them up in a satellite.


And her message was this:

Yeah. It's EPICALLY awesome, just like her. :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
