Looking back at January 2015

I have to say a huge "Thank You" to Sanch for making me blog today. I am a regular reader of her blog so when I noticed her monthly round-up post and the linky after it, I had this sudden urge to just write and blog about the past month.

Thanks Sanch ! I owe you one. :) 

Although I have been lazy enough to put away blogging and reviving this space for quite some time, I think I have procrastinated a lot now that I am bored with it. Let's look ahead at February with a bright smile and continue to work on our goals/dreams/plans et al.

But first, a look at the past month. 2015 started on a quiet yet powerful note. I began the year with a lot of dreams and aspirations in my mind hopeful of turning them into reality this year. And it has been good so far.

I returned to performing on stage in September last year. However, it was the dance opportunities on New Years' Eve that truly brought peace to my aching mind and filled up a large void in my heart. 

After a lot of meticulous planning, 10 days into 2015, I was able to take a small step in beginning my own dance institution here in New Jersey along with launching my website. Yes, it feels good to be working again especially doing something I have loved since I was a child. LP and the whole family have been very supportive during this phase and I feel blessed :) 

In other news, my baby girl is growing up so fast that I feel scared to blink and miss her naughtiness. She's keeping my hands full and ensuring I remain in shape thanks to the extra running around ;)

I made a conscious decision to eat and stay healthy in 2015 and thus began yet another love - "Salads". I find myself experimenting with new ingredients and recipes to make dinner time interesting. Also love the fact that LP is very much excited now that I have decided to join him by eating fresh, natural diets.

Gym workouts have been fulfilling and it keeps me energized throughout the day. :)

Reading has taken a slight backseat so I am behind my monthly goal. 

Career wise I have been contemplating a lot of things lately (even considering a Master's in Fine Arts) but they are still in flux. Hope to bring clarity and closure on these items in the coming months.

Other than that, this month was good where in I had a fair amount of catching up with friends, dine-outs and also spending quality time at home snuggled on my comfy couch with a hot cup of coffee while the blizzard raged in New York / New Jersey areas earlier last week.

Hoping January went great for all of you too ! :)

Yours' truly,
