2008: It was MY year!

Every end of the year, people usually make a reflection about did or didn’t happen during the year. I usually do this! In my case, I have no reason to complain about!

I remembered that at beginnig of this year I made a list of desires for the new year.
One of these desires was: “Make my first international trip!”

At that time I was already planning my trip to America for August. I was saving money for it! It was the big dream of my life!

The interesting thing about this story is that in January at my company, like in every year, we had a strategic plan meeting for the year.

Especially this year we did an activity to choose one goal for 2008, 2009 and 2010. The most interesting thing is that my goal for 2009 was to take an international business trip.

To my great surprisein May 2008 I received an invite to do a 2-day job in Buenos Aires, Argentina! And I went!

So, in the end I made 2 international trips: one for business in Argentina and another for fun and studies in the USA.

For me this is a big deal! Because it shows how wecan accomplish our goals if we really want them and work very hard for them!

Additionally, I have had more success in my work, assumed more responsibilities and I’ve received great feedbacks.

In my personal life, I still haven’t found the love that I’m looking for!

I’m having fun and I’m feeling good, despite my “singleness”.

For 2009 I have great plans! First of all, I want to take another international trip, this time to Europe.

I met a couple from Portugal who invited me to stay in their home. That’s a great beginning and good sign!

So, I have everything to start the New Year on the right foot and I will!
