Dear 2010:

Although, I am more than ready to move on, we did have some wonderful times. I will hold these times dear to my heart.  I want to end this on a good note so you’ll know that you came into my life for a reason and a season and I do not take your contributions lightly. I am most appreciative! Here are some highlights of our brightest memories:

I started 2010 unemployed and uncertain of my future but by February, I was inspired to launch a non-profit that stemmed directly from my dreams, passions, and values (www.womanifesting.org) and I received amazing rewards for taking this leap of faith. We had several successful and well-attended events and the best is yet to come!

Late June, I received an assignment in line with my skills and values. In my role, I essentially help the unemployed receive training and find work in the healthcare sector. Very rewarding…

Both above career moves marked a departure from the practice of law. Hallelujah!

Also in June, I had a heavenly vacation in St. Lucia with some amazingly cool ladies. Great memories!

The fall brought love to my writing passion:

“Wrap-around Porch”(http://passionateself.wordpress.com/2010/08/26/wrap-around-porch)

“Friday Night” (http://issuu.com/tidalbasin/docs/fall_winter_issue_2010_-_tidal_basin_review?mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Fdark%2Flayout.xml&showFlipBtn=true)

“Returning Home” (http://asouthernjournal.com/Ezine/2010v32mcghee.html)

Finally, I was accepted into a two month fiction writing workshop that provided me with invaluable feedback from esteemed author and teacher, Marita Golden (http://maritagolden.com/) and super talented and supportive classmates. I am now focused on writing my novel purposely and passionately.

This year also brought me closer to persons that share my definition of friendship. These angels truly support, encourage, and uplift me in so many ways. What a gift! Thank you.

My family continues to be a source of love, strength, joy, and “rootedness” that I can depend on no matter what. What a blessing! I adore and appreciate them.

As for the bad times, I have placed them in a keepsake box for you—minus the valuable lessons learned, of course. I earned the lessons and they will come in handy in 2011. Anyhoo, feel free to bury or destroy them if they prove too painful, just make sure I never see them again.

So thank you 2010 but this is the end. Time for 2011, who is promising big, big things for me and the passionate ones. No hard feelings. SMOOCHES & DEUCES!

Love,

TCM

PS: 2010, please abide by the terms of the restraining order. It really is over…To the left…did I stuh stuh studder? #whatever #youaresodone #peace
