GOOD BYE 2010, HELLO 2011 – HERE IS MY ONE RESOLUTION

December 31, 2010

Reflecting on the Year That Was

Saying goodbye to 2010 and hello to 2011. Well, another year coming to a close…and what an interesting year it has been. 2010 started off in a very dramatic way, then there were some highs and then there were some lows…but all in all it was pretty good year – thanks to my sweet family, my dear friends, and all of you lovely COCOCOZY readers!

I am excited for 2011. So many new opportunities and new risks I’ll be taking in this year to come. I’ll be sharing them all with you and invite you come along with me on my potentially life changing ride – hopefully you’ll get a bit inspired too.

A Resolution of Courage: Being Brave in 2011

The only New Year’s resolution I have for 2011 is to be brave. I want to be as brave as I possibly can 2011. Brave in everything I do – in all aspects of life.

Balancing Bravery and Humor

Brave about business. And Brave about opening up and sharing even more. Brave in trying things I have never done before. And Brave with new relationships and love. Brave about pushing myself physically and mentally – challenging myself as much as possible. No fears. Pushing hang-ups aside. In 2011, I will be brave!

Looking Forward with Love

I wish you a wonderful New Year. I wish you much love, good health, and prosperity and even though you may not have asked for it, I wish a bit of brave for you too!
Thank you dear readers for sticking with me in 2010. Can’t wait to continue our ongoing conversation about all things design, decor and a bit of fashion too in 2011! Hello 2011! I’m ready for you!

Happy Friday! Happy New Year!

Much love.

xoxo
Coco

P.S. Also, don’t worry…this brave thing doesn’t mean I’ve lost my sense of humor. You’ll still read about my all my comical moments (which I think are the true fabric of life). I hope in this year I’ll continue to make you laugh quite a bit too. Brave and funny? Hmmmmm…let’s see how that works…LOL!

    Well, you have made a good start with your New Year’s Resolution…you are brave just saying you want to be more brave. Bravo to you. I will try and follow suit, you have definitely got me thinking about aspects of my own life where I could step outside my comfort zone. Thanks, and happy new year!

    I like your bravery comment .. and I read your Pip-the-horse-scary-moment – and I was slightly amused with your picture-books-no-words post (feel a bit the same these days) – and I just wanted to say that I haven’t visited as much recently due to being busy – but will make 2011 the year to get cozy. I wish you well and look forward to hearing all about your brave moments (-:

    Ha! So funny…I’d been reading blogs about people picking one word to focus on in the new year and last night, I woke up and thought “BRAVE”. I will be brave in the face of job uncertainty, figuring out what to do next,and doing it. I will be brave in my personal life and put myself out there. I will be brave and try new things, eat new foods, learn new stuff.

    Best wishes to you in 2011! And here’s to bravery!

Behind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOBehind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOCOZY bedding collection at the Welspun showroom in New York. Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. It is a long process to get bedding in stores across the country...showing the collections at textiles market is one of the first steps!
If you're interested in learning how I have gotten @cococozy products into stores around the country over the years including in major retailers...follow along...just one entrepreneur's journey. :)

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
