New Year's Resolutions

2011 is going to be the year I make my New Year's Resolutions happen!

I've never put much stock in New Year's Resolutions. Sure, I come up with a few every year, losing weight being the most common and unchanging theme in the past 15 years. I was only successful in one out of those 15 years. For me, New Year's Resolutions have always been more about wishful thinking than about taking action. Seriously. If I were resolute about making something happen, I don't have to wait until New Year's to commit to doing it and start making it happen, do I?

2011 won't be any different. It just so happens that the fun and enriching roller coaster ride of the year that was 2010 allowed me a glimpse of 'what I want' and 'who I am' every so often (Dazzle: thank you for getting me into my AW journey), and I was very lucky that my family & friends were so supportive of me. My continued discovery and consideration process bred more ideas about what I want to commit to. Today is as good a day as any to make a specific commitment and begin sticking to it.

January 1, 2011 marks the day I write down my New Year's Resolutions for the year. Armed with my 'core' and these resolutions, I shall remain focused as I embrace each experience 2011 brings.

2011 will be my best year yet, and I hope it will be for you as well.
