This year, I am all about only making promises that I can – and plan to – keep.

Not that I’m all talk and no action.

In 2010, I decided to quit my longtime celebrity gossip editor career. I did.

I told my husband that I wanted to go back to school to study nutrition. I graduate in March.

Then, after we shelled out thousands upon thousands for the nutrition program, I decide that being a yoga teacher would really compliment those studies nicely. Thankfully, hubbby agreed – or, at least, placated. Another hefty check, and I’m finishing up my requirements to be a Yoga Alliance RYT200 yoga instructor. In fact, I did my practice teach in front of my own teacher TODAY. Successfully and safely!

And just a month ago, I started a health and wellness column for Vegas Magazine, writing for my fellow gossip alum, Abby. Even though  was sick of following every one of Shiloh Jolie Pitt’s movements doesn’t mean I’m no longer a writer. And I’m happier now than ever with the topics I write about.

So I guess it’s not so much that I don’t follow through because, clearly, i do. It’s more about finding a clearer path for myself – even if I decide to diverge off of it again, as I tend to do. Often. What? I get bored, distracted, adventurous, eager. I think it’s a good quality. My husband still isn’t sure what to about it. I told him to just let me go off on my tangents; I always end up finding my way. But sometimes it’s exhausting being so damn free-spirited.

A few months ago, I started a nutrition counseling business. I gave some lectures on how to eat healthy (stop going through the Mickey D’s drive-thru at 2 am, avoid packaged mac n’ cheese, drink water…the basics) and even designed a website and some business cards. And I even helped a few people get their awful eating habits back on track. Like, real clinets. But then the holidays came, and I got totally distracted. Like, I did nothing productive for weeks. Except a ton of yoga. So it wasn’t a complete waste.

But I’m back. And I’m ready for greatness. It’s all right there, waiting for me to embrace. I just need to get my confidence and momentum back.

Nothing but big things, 2011. Big things, indeed.
