Make this a REAL New Year!!!

What new year's "resolutions", if you truly kept them, would significantly change your life for the better? You can either keep floating on the boat you are now on, eat a bunch of chips and dip, and fall asleep listening to the year ring in, or sit down, take notes, and REALLY PLAN about how you can have a beautiful NEW year!!!



We all know the basic resolutions many people have but fail to keep during the new year: lose weight, exercise, go back to school, spend more time with friends and family, and so on. If some of these resolutions would significantly change 2015 for you, write it down, and plan on how you can make it work for you this time. The key is to take each goal, and write it down in small, manageable steps. You'd be surprised: even small changes, done faithfully, can have a major impact on your life.

Ask yourself what new year's resolutions, if you kept them, would truly make 2015 a better year for you? Or what did you do this year, you can do next year, better?

I'd love to hear your ideas!

For myself, here are just a few to start (a rough draft, if you will)!:

1. Pray every day for guidance and grace, at least fifteen minutes, preferably in the morning to start my day.
2. Stop eating junk food mindlessly.
3. Make sure everything I do is guided by love.
4. Continue my education in areas I need to grow.
5. Stop spending money mindlessly. (Remind you of the junk food resolution?)

When you have a completed a list of resolutions, sharpen them to maybe TEN major points...(your personal 10 commandments).

Don't write things you know you will never do. Keep it REAL so it can work!

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

I love you all...you bring knowledge, friendship, and fun to my life. Have a wonderful new year, and count your blessings!!! You have many, you know!!!
