break the pattern.

Sometimes we don't realize we've gotten ourselves into a pattern. It's often not intended and even more often something we're not even aware of. And then sometimes we look back with greater awareness and see we were doing just what we wanted to be doing but now we want to break ourselves of the very pattern we created. I've been experiencing a bit of that lately. Despite the intention I set earlier this year and shared with the world of finding my person inside of 2013 I realized I've fallen into a bit of a hibernation pattern. While that was intended to some degree from the stand point of finances and wanting to save money but it also became enjoyable b/c things like ice cream and my dog KoKo make me so incredibly happy that enjoying many evenings in with both of those things -- well, life was good.

But despite thinking it was never possible, I think I've eaten so much ice cream this past year that I'm sick of it -- I couldn't even buy any in the ice cream aisle at the store today! And as for mr KoKo, we're almost at a year together and it's been one of the best of my entire life. But I also realize there's only so much KoKo can provide and it's time I crawl out of my unintended hibernation and put myself out there. And I realized this after having a great weekend celebrating my friends birthday (on a pimped out party bus that took us on a malibu wine tour that was quite the fantastic day) being around lots of guys and girls all having a good time together. And it reminded me of my social side and how that's been a bit overshadowed by my shy side lately.

So I'm calling myself on my own pattern here and now -- it's time to crawl out from whatever rock I unintentionally crawled under over this past year and get out there. So look out world, I'm coming back --not quite as the tornado I once was--but I certainly plan to dance my way through the rain.
