New Year - New Plan

New Years 2014 was bittersweet. I am very grateful to see another year and for myself and my family to all be healthy - that's the sweet. The bitter is that I really hoped to awaken in the new year in Paris.

However, I will not dwell on the negative.

I go into this new year more determined than ever to accomplish my dream of living in Paris. I am not setting any goals or even saying that the move will occur in 2014, only that I will spend this year readying myself for the move.

I don't believe in making New Year resolutions, mainly because people rarely keep them. I will be making plans instead.

2014 Plans:
  1. Continue studying French
    • By improving my French, I improve my chances of finding a job and making a smooth transition when I move
  2.  Job Searching
  3. TESOL Certification
I will of course post updates so that you all can hold me accountable and track my progress.

I hereby declare 2014 as the Year of Me!

    Happy New Year! You will get there because you keep working and focused. It took me 3 years of planning, dreaming, researching before I made the move, and I had way less going on that you do, so do not despair. :)

    BTW, I used to research France when I was first looking at Europe and I also wanted to teach English. I was told that CELTA (not TESOL) is the gold standard for ENglish teaching, and that it will get you further, and can mean a bit more pay. Not sure if that's changed, but thought I'd mention it.
