2011 - the year of:
- Travel - my passport has certainly not been dieting: Holland, Dubai, Malaysia, Vietnam, London, India, Indonesia, New Zealand, Japan... long may it continue!
- Blogging - my first post was on the 16th January and with that I was plunged into the online world.
- Career decisions - deciding to take a long hard look at the answer to "what do I want to be when I grow up" and deciding to move into communications (work in progress)
- Committing to Singapore - we're here to stay for another two years - good news for those who follow my Singapore cafe/restaurant/coffee reviews

With starting Step One: I have discovered a passion for writing and a medium for an expression of my love of food and travel. As my confidence and experience grew, Step One: has broadened from being focussed on the challenges of weight loss (which I'm still working on, by the way), to sharing recipes, travel experiences and photos, reviews in the pursuit of the perfect coffee or brunch (Ladies Who Brunch), and generally being out and about in Singapore. I'm fortunate enough to now have some regular readers (love you guys!) dotted all around the globe.
Confucius said, "the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". I still love the name Step One: the first pace as you step outside the door for a run, the first part of a recipe method, the first "left or right?" outside your hotel door...
Thanks for sticking with me in 2011. My journey is continuing into 2012 - will you come along for the ride??!
