Be the change you wish to see in the world
-Gandhi
It's that time of year again, kids. Time to welcome in a new year, time to evaluate our successes and failures of this year and resolve to make the next one better. For several years I merely vowed to "do better". That worked for awhile. Now I think I will be more deliberate, more intentional, more specific, and then this time next year, we can see how I did... and I challenge you to do the same... in the comment section if you dare!
- Let more go. This was one of mine last year, I am not great at it, but when I did, man, it felt GOOD!
- Write more down. This was one last year, too. Took me til October to get this blog started, but you know what they say-- good girls keep diaries, the rest of us don't have time :)
- Get rid of stuff I don't use, don't need, don't want, don't like-- this is about 1/2 my house! Seems like this will be therapeutic or cleansing or prioritizing or something. Or maybe I will at least find some neat shit I forgot about!
Say fuck less.- Say fuck in front of my child less. In fact, use a kinder tone more overall.
- Lose
5030 more pounds and buy a sparkly dress. I really want a sparkly dress for New Years, but I do not want to look like a disco ball. I just really like to sparkle. - Be more responsible with my money. Yeah, there, I admit it. I suck. When it comes down to it, I would rather have new boots than pay the student loan people, because really, I feel like that was predatory lending and they NEVER should have given me that much money in the first place. I was an 18 year old social work major for Christssake and now nobody even cares, Obama won't even tweet me back about it. It stresses me out and boots will make me feel better... but... that cycle HAS to break because, well, I am BROKE.
- Find someone who loves me like this:
yeah, so maybe this one is not in my control, See #1. I am a work in progress!
So, what is on your list??
