It’s going to be a great year!

Some of the left hand side and more of the right is in order

So it’s a new year, and I must say I have been having completely uncharacteristic thoughts about new years resolutions. Odd seeing as I have never had the desire to attempt the less eating less drinking more exercise varieties of resolution. Too much pressure, and I think I am at heart somewhat of a little H hedonist. Never met a pizza that didn’t have my name on it.

I am a creature of habit though, just ask my husband about my favourite wine. Which I always have. Always… and I am not kidding. This year is different. It has occurred to me that I have turned what was my hobby once a lifetime ago into my career, into my obsession. You could call it an unhealthy habit.

Hello. My name is Melissa Harris and I am a workaholic.

A lovely Facebook friend and follower volunteered that she never makes new year resolutions. Instead she chooses a word that holds meaning for her, and acts upon that word throughout the year. I love that! So I have chosen my word. Balance. My husband always tells me not to kill the golden goose and I think that having a narrow work obsessed life might just kill creativity, which are my golden eggs.

So here we go 2014.
