I’ve been back from Nicaragua one week today. I didn’t want to come home.

I felt like a million dollars but since I have been back, I feel depressed.

I sleep too much. I can’t write. The scenery makes melancholy.

I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions. I could never understand why the change in the date was a catalyst to make changes in my life. I always followed the plan that I would institute changes as soon as I was aware that they needed or wanted to be made.

But as another year ends and I enter my 28th year of life, I am understanding more the value of reflection and goal setting, both personally and professionally.

Reflection helps me to appreciate the journey and how it has lead me to where I am today, while goal setting helps me to outline my desires for the future and strategize how to achieve them.

For me, this was a year of beginnings and I spend most of 2008 planting and cultivating my innerpreneurial seeds.

For my family, December holds a whole host of celebrations. It is my only brother’s birthday, my father’s birthday, Hanukkah and Christmas.

How Do You Tame Your Inner Critic?

I am my own worst critic. I know that much is true. According to me, nothing I do is good enough.
