With a New Year Comes the Essence of Life.

Just about 2 weeks before the end of the year it is only natural that we start thinking out loud or quietly about our New Years Resolutions. Why does it take a new year to make people change? Shouldn't change come gradually? I am now guilty of being one of those people. It is now several days away from the new year and I have been contemplating what changes need to be made with me personally and business wise. I love self growth and I think personally I could be a lot more concerned and a better listener with loved ones in my life than just my own issues. Last year I deaded my love life for the sake of business. Has it been fulfilling, somewhat, it had its up's and down's. Yes, it was all worth it. I do have my laptop which is my trusty companion but he does consume the majority of my time! LOL.

I have been so consumed by work this year I really never sat back and took care of Lexi. Sure I did the regular beauty regime, but I never really sat back and took stock of the things that made me happy; the beauty of people on a whole, personal writing and most of all my family and loved ones. I never personally encountered being "lonely at the top" of my game until this year. Lonely doesn't mean the absence of a man or woman but the essence of life! I forgot the Essence of Life; how beautiful it is to hear a loved ones voice on the other end of the phone or the sound of another person in your ear and not a black and white screen that chirps at you. I have become so indulged in technology I just forgot the Essence of Life.

I also heard from the grapevine I'm flaky with my personal friends. I guess I will have to change that and drop a line here and there. Not that I don't like my friends or grown apart, I just hated talking on the phone because I talk everyday with editors, other publicist, venues, managers, etc. on an hourly or daily basis, I lost my voice. (lol). The industry consumed me but it helped me become a great publicist and to love what I do. This is me, this is my career, so with a new year comes some changes for the a better Lexi Chow thus Lexi Chow PR & Company and a newly formed company -The CNC Agency (Lexi Chow and Daniella Cobb).

My new years resolution:

  • Saying no to unproductive situations! (personal and business)
  • Not pleasing everyone!
  • Taking personal time out for myself, the world can wait!
  • Working out everyday thus personal time!
  • Eating more healthier, no more Crown Fried Chicken, maybe twice a year!
  • Eliminating unhealthy people around me...cleansing my aura!
  • Picking up the phone and calling someone!
  • No more whack dates!

Lex Lugah you are one of the most inspiring women I know. You are one of many few I look up too. I love your whole drive and I dont know you personally but it seems you gave up to sacrifice to build your company.

I wish you all the best in 2009.
