Well, 2013 has arrived, and with it, a proclamation that this IS, in fact, the year that I go to London! It's always scary to say something like that, in fear that this December 31st (or as it would be written across the pond, 31 December) may find me eating my words in embarrassed shame if I don't actually make it over there. Eh, so what? I'm going to say it anyway, because I still feel like God is going to get me there, and sooner rather than later.
While there is still no money yet for this venture, I'm still trying to do the little things that I am able to do. My financial attempts to get a passport have failed the past few months, but that is the first big item on the agenda. I hope to get one within the next month, as I save accordingly. That will be HUGE. I am crazy excited about that!
I wanted to also mention my main goals for my venture to London. Although photography is at the forefront, this stay over there encompasses so many other areas as well. It will be life-changing in every way.
GOALS FOR LONDON (in no particular order):
1.) Get a great foundation for photography
2.) Complete the photography program
3.) Build my photography portfolio
4.) Learn to depend on God in a deeper, greater way
5.) Discover more of myself away from everything and everyone that is familiar
6.) Spend lots of time writing
7.) Blog about my adventures and observations
8.) Make lots of great friendships and connections
9.) Experience complete cultural immersion
10.) Incorporate British words and phrases into my vocabulary
11.) Discover a tea that I actually like (I really want to enjoy tea!)
12.) Drive on the other side of the road just once
And since this is 2013, I should probably have 13 goals, soooo...
13.) HAVE FUN!
Last, but not least, a great friend of mine posted this video to my facebook page of how London rings in the new year, and it was just TOO GOOD not to put on here! They sure know how to celebrate! Hope your new year is getting off to a wonderful start! Check back soon!
