Dr. Frankle's prescription is to make a playlist of your most treasured songs de l'annee, look back through photos of the past year, and compose a "Thank You" list to send your happy vibes tumbling out into the universe. Whether via the web or in a cute little collage to tape to your wall for future forgetful moments, just give it a whirl. What better way to prepare yourself for all the amazing opportunities and memories to be made just around the corner?...
So, as I stand on my crimson painted tippy toes on the brink of a new year, here is why 2010 was truly rockin' for me:
London, Bath, Wales, Stratford-upon-Avon, traveling alone & abroad!
Learning to play the Ukulele! Nabbing my first seat at an official L.A. fashion week show! (N.Y.C. & Paris, you're next!) Getting accepted to the university of my dreams in Cardiff, Wales, (one of 12 students a year, I'm a lucky gal to have made the cut!) Lots of adventures with my fantastic trio of inspiring women; ShannyCakes, Tracy Doodles, and my Pinker Stinker.
Getting hitched to my best friend & love in fabulous vintage carnie style!
Breaking down creative barriers & still working on it. Road trips up the coast to Monterey, Carmel, & Santa Cruz. Honeymoonin' in Morro Bay. Staying at the famously kitschy Madonna Inn, (caveman suite thank you)! Front row at Billy Idol twice! Eeeeek! <----So good! Best friends loved and lost but not forgotten, Camping in Yosemite with Shanny . Modeling jobs, photographic adventures with my Holga and Diana, wardrobe styling gigs. Lots of beach adventures at our secret cove! Creative theatre shenanigans, one involving running into Rufio from "Hook"!!!
Seeing The Indigo once again!
Picking up old books and re-reading them, drawing in the wee small hours of the morning, rain drops galore, working on top secret projects for 2011, pumpkin spice lattes (iced, always!), putting glitter on anything I can make it stick to, tromping around the RenFaire once again, Lots of Disneyland days, making a new family from the bits of a tragedy, lots of home cooked organic dinners with that family! Yum. Invitations to new creative adventures for the new year, (so excited to get this one of the ground, will spill the beans soon!) Having a roof over my head, and always finding a way to make ends meet. Being reminded how truly beautiful every day can be, (big thank you's to the universe for this one, again!)...and this is the very short version!

One of my favorite quotes from this year:
"It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not." ~Author Unknown
There, like a big Karmic band aid of bunny kisses. Makes me all warm and fuzzy. Now hop on it, even if you just make a mental check list, then send those thoughts up into the air sailing on the coat tails of a midnight kiss!
Off to glam! Happy New Year!
Hugs, Love, and Cotton Tails,
♥ Frankie
