This year...
Hang on to your truth and respect the truth of others.
Choose to be happy.
Forgive those that you can forgive
and seek the forgiveness of someone who deserves it.
Do something outside of your comfort zone.
Be the voice for someone who has no voice.
Choose healthy food, activities and people.
Fall six times, get up seven… persevere.
Wish people a lovely day.
Live honestly, truly and with integrity.
Be the example for your children.
Remember that love is a verb.

Goode day dear friends & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! A fresh new year, 365 days of blank slate to do with what you wish (well, for the most part anyway)..what will you do with it? Everyone's plan for the upcoming year is different but generally, everyone has something they wish to try, pursue, include, improve, change, etc. when a new year rolls around.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful expression of your goals for the new year. Wishing you great sucess!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
ReplyDeleteAww, Doreen, you are simply the sweetest. This is such a thoughtful and kind thing you are doing. What a wonderful way to start the New Year! This is such a fantastic way to start a year where we’ve just lost my father-in-law this past week, and I have such big plans of working towards my goals. I have an old beautiful photograph of my great-grandmother and am hoping to actually sit down and design a piece that will frame her photo. I plan on giving it to my mother as a gift. Granny was the kindest soul. This year for me is all about family and of course friends. But with the loss of my father-in-law it will be such a huge hole in our lives...and really makes a person realize the fragility of life.
