NBTN : Seasons Greetings

Hey everyone! Wow its good to see you all again. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years. I know Im fully charged and ready to kick some 2012 butt! It seems as though there are alot of us ready to kick old habits, shed our skin and start to live up to the potential that maybe we have been afraid of all our lives. 2011 was an awesome year for me. Man did I learn a lesson or 2 or 3 or 4 ... million. Some hard lessons, but if you don't make any mistakes and take risks then you'll never know the true taste of everything that life has to cook up for you. I may have been eating burnt toast before but its all gravy baby. Now, my life is so tasty and flavourful.

My 1 year wedding anniversary is this weekend. Can you believe it?! That went so fast. But, they do say time flies when your having fun. Although it maybe our 10 year 'since we got together' anniversary this May .... bar the on and again, off agains lol, Im still so happy and sooo in love. To be honest I didn't think that married life would be this different. We were already living what I thought was the married life existence .... but it is totally different, in an awesome way. What also did happen in 2011 was alot of friends have either started their own little families, got engaged or got married. Love is in the air is all I can say. Its great!

Career wise I must say I achieved all the goals that I planned for myself at the beginning of 2011 ... but this is thanks to all of you guys and your continued support and following. When I would have my little hesitations or doubts a little message would appear and just turn my frown upside down. Thank you so much for that ... and keep it coming. Those little messages really do mean so much to me, thank you from the bottom of my heart XX

My sisters, my sisters. What would I be, or what would I do without them. I have to thank my sisters for really making me the strong woman that I am today. The world never challenges me as much as you do. Just when I think "No way Jose" you guys push me to break down another Ogre onion layer that I didnt even know that I had. The blow ups and confrontations, the defriending, the sibling rivalry and mind games that you both do has given me the tough skin that I need to be in this industry. I always knew the world would be hurtful, but I never thought that my family could do things, or say things like that to my face. Thank you for really testing me and pulling out the strong woman that was deep inside of me. Now I can take on the world and not bat an eyelid over petty comments. I have the skin of an elephant, and the memory of a crocodile .... or is it the other way around? To my other sisters, I love how you are all the most beautiful gay dorks I have ever met. You keep me so grounded, only cos Im shorter than all of yous lol You all know when it counts. Quality not quantity. You know how much I love you gay guys ... so no homo okay X

To my gorgeous and amazing daughters, I am so privileged and blessed to be your Mother. Thank you for choosing me. Alfred, can you build me the tallest tower so I can lock these girls away please. Dangerous much!

Here are a couple of goals I am willing to share with you guys .... just please dont hold me to it OK!
1. Drink a glass of wine each week ... hehehe
2. Travel overseas at least once this year!
3. Push Play! Get Active .... which includes a new pair of kicks. Score!
4. Get the ball rolling with my "Lady Ladalah" lingerie designs
5. Keep building my makeup kit til its as big as 1 of the Kardashian sisters
6. "Maintain the status quo" - Ross Williams

So to all, thanks for tuning in this year .... feedback is crucial. If you want to know, see or read about anything just let me know. My direction is your direction. The red pill or the blue pill??
