Its hard to believe 2011 has begun. Where will the year take me? What will I do to challenge myself? Will I finally be able to let go of some of my fears? If I were to choose a motto for this year it would be "Fear: So What?" I think I will go with that and see where it leads. I read the statement in the book "Eat, Pray, Love" and heard the distinct 'ping' of recognition. This is for me, who is afraid to fail AND afraid to succeed!
Another quote that I recently read makes just so much sense:
"To avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, be nothing" Elbert Hubbard
I suppose the same can be said of failure/success/change.
On an exciting note, for my Photographer self, I received the lens I've been longing for (for over a year): a Nikon AF-S 70-200 f2.8 GII ED, from my husband for Christmas (though my earnings from Zazzle will be paying for a goodly portion of this purchase!). I have affectionately named it Konig, since the salesman referred to this lens as "the King" of lenses! It was purchased at Aden Camera in the Pacific Mall, Markham. An excellent price - and rebate from Nikon at the same time. Couldn't be beat!
Here's a wee sample of my first 'play date' with Konig:
