Review of 2008
It seems like 2009 has kicked off very busy for me, so I haven't even noticed it's already mid-February! Nevertheless, I feel like I should take a small stop and look back to the year 2008 and compile the nominations for it.I continue with visiting at least three new countries per year. In 2008 that was Ireland, Spain and Portugal, as well as going to Latvia again, and let's not forget London and Liverpool. Professionally I have had one of the most exciting years, full of challenges that I needed, which have stretched me quite a bit. I have also been immersed to creative environment which triggered me to start doing things I though I will never do again - like drawing an painting.
My core focus for the year was health and balance, which has been fulfilled partly, and I am happy with the result so far. Doing yoga and 5 Rhythms authentic dance, healthier food has really helped me... how is it called.... find inner peace?;).. I have developed a few healthy habits (exercise, regular breakfast and dinner times, etc etc) which are part of my routine now.
And here are the nominations... not all of them are the same as in year 2007, as the relevance has changed. Here they are...

Master's degree :) Gosh I'm glad I'm done with it.
