Sweet '16



It didn't seem so long ago when I wrote about 2015 goals. But alas! A year has flown by. Did I accomplish my goals set forth? Nope. Nor am I going to beat myself up for it. 

It was definitely a busy year for me professionally. I was promoted to Coordinator of Staff & Curriculum and Master Teacher. Yes, it came with a nice pay raise. In addition to teaching my core classes, I develop curriculum, and mentor & train new teachers. The new title means extra responsibility and less time for anything else. It also means putting my pursuit of a Ph.D. on hold.

I have limited my time on the dance floor. I'm lucky if I go to Verdi even twice a month. However, I have joined a new dance troupe, and we begin rehearsals next week. This will be a good diversion from my work life.

So what goals will I set for myself this year? Continue my professional successes. Get more tattoos. Increase my vintage wardrobe and antiques. Get more involved in arts and culture. Buy a house (and yes! This time it's more realistic). Whatever else happens...happens. But overall, I just want to be happy and wish others continued happiness.

Here's hoping that 2016 is definitely a sweet one.
