This week has been rough, partly because I&#8217;ve been under the weather and partly because of the snow storm that hit the northeast. The photo above (no filter!) was taken about a month ago as I was on my way home after running a few errands. No snow, just a pretty winter sunset.<\/p>\n<p>This seems like a good time to share some of my new year&#8217;s resolutions and goals. Putting it all out here on my blog makes it real and keeps me on track!<\/p>\n<p>1\/ Lately, I&#8217;ve been making more of an effort to get in touch with old friends. Even with email and Facebook, you inevitably fall out of touch at some point. It&#8217;s been wonderful hearing back from friends from all over the world! At the same time though, there are the people that never respond. It&#8217;s unfortunate, but it is what it is.<\/p>\n<p>2\/ I mentioned in my <a title=\"2014 Recap \/ Top 10 Highlights of the Year\" href=\"https:\/\/letsnomnom.wordpress.com\/2015\/01\/15\/2014-recap\/\">2014 recap<\/a> that I plan on going vegan for an entire month! The original plan was to do a vegan March, but now that I&#8217;ve made some travel plans for that month, I&#8217;m thinking vegan April will be a better choice.\u00a0 Plus, the warmer weather will be better for fresh salads and lots of smoothies.<\/p>\n<p>3\/ The biggest news on my end is that I&#8217;m leaving my full time job at the end of this month&#8230; tomorrow is my last day! I&#8217;ve spent 4+ years at <a title=\"Intwine Marketing\" href=\"http:\/\/www.intwinemarketing.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Intwine Marketing<\/a>, doing all things creative for the wine industry. It&#8217;s been a great time, but I&#8217;m ready for my next adventure, which involves freelancing and working on personal design projects. I&#8217;ve told myself that I need to spend some time resting and relaxing before I dive into anything new, but I&#8217;m anxious to get my projects going! I&#8217;m looking forward to sharing my projects as they start to come together over the the course of the year.<\/p>\n<p>4\/ A wonderful bonus to switching to freelancing means that I&#8217;ll have a more flexible schedule and the freedom to explore the city! I hear that NYC is a completely different world on weekdays. I&#8217;m excited to wander through Central Park, visit museums, and enjoy lunch specials while most New Yorkers are busy at work.<\/p>\n<p>5\/ Another thing on the list, which I&#8217;m looking forward to, yet dreading at the same time is spring cleaning and what I&#8217;m calling The Great Closet Purge of 2015. I vow to go through every single item in my closet, try everything on, decide if I would wear it, then keep, sell, or donate to Goodwill. Same with our kitchen and all the other storage closets in the apartment. It&#8217;s so easy to accumulate stuff over the years, and it&#8217;ll be good to clear things out and start fresh. Got any good tips to share?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 36px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 36px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, we&#8217;re almost done with January a.k.a. the terrible season.
