Christelyn, I'm REALLY LOOKING FORWARD to all that you do!

is to lose some weight and work on my personal life

My new year's resolution was to get out more and do new things... and I've already started towards that. I went to the Mummer's parade here and the afterparty. Lots of yummy rainbeaus were out and it was definitely fun.

2012 will be my "It's time to get yo ish together year"

I'm chucking the dueces to the negative energy I carried around for part of 2011.

No more "I can't" or "don't have time to" or "don't have the money to" excuses

Anything beyond that, I would just be lying. I change my mind like you change underwear.

sidenote: I'm just finding my way into the blogging scene and yours is one of my favorites.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year All!

One of my aspirations for 2012 is to learn a new skill or increase my knowledge of an area of homecaring/homemaking. The four areas I'm focusing on this year:

Gardening - I want to learn how to make my vegetable garden more productive and grow more fresh herbs

Sewing - I want to finally learn how to use the sewing machine my husband's grandmother gave me as a wedding present 11 years ago! Maybe sew something using vintage patterns.

Breadmaking - I want to move beyond homemade pizza crust and cinnamon rolls and into other breads.

Cake Decorating - Just seems pretty and fun!

I've got to get back to the kitchen. My cornbread is in the oven!

I am:

doing more yoga

attending more social events

acquiring more houseplants(and actually keeping them alive somehow)

painting again

re-reading the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy books

not panicking whilst carrying my towel, flying, & staying shiny.

I resolve to not have any resolutions, but just to DO things. Resolutions, for me, go largely unaccomplished...IJS ;D

I resolve to get Mrs. Jay from Philly pregnant, and she resolves to make me a daddy.

Its 11:45 EST so I guess its about time for me to surface. Need coffee.....badly.

I have never ever successfully kept a New Years resolution in my life so I don't do them any more.

As I posted before hubby and I have our mantras.

Patience in the New Year and Walk away and move on.

What works better for me is setting goals and we are going to sit down today he and I and plan our year.

I know that it will include travel. We have two cruises planned and of course some motorcycle trips and a possible road trip or two in the car.

We are talking about both of us learning to speak French and I am going to start piano lessons soon. Hubby want to try his hand at French cooking.....hummm we have a theme going.

Plan to drop another thirty pounds.

See if we can work our way up to cycling 25 miles three days per week.

Oh yeah we have a few home improvement projects to tackle as well as tending the veggie garden.

Yep we will be busy this year and I'm am looking forward to it

Looking forward to meeting all of you here too. I have a feeling it is going to be a great year.

I don't do resolutions, I just try to make changes when think they are warranted. So I am going to continue encouraging my friends to grasp the good life they deserve. And positive results already! I dragged a friend with me to a NYE penthouse party in my building and she met a cute Matthew McConaughey- look alike who's a lawyer. Even if it doesn't go anywhere it's a huge confidence boost to her that quality men of any race could be interested in her!!!

1) Push out my third baby hopefully without any problems. DON'T get pregnant for at least a year.

2) Visit South Africa twice. Have the new baby (Boy or girl don't know yet) blessed.

Well, I'm thin. Got a famliy with a husband that provides for us. Seriously I don't know what else I could work on.

Oh right..

3) Get those dreads I've been saving my hair for. Seriously I think hubbys dick would get hard just looking at them. He said it would be so hot if I got those. And why not, I never tried dreads before.

4) LEARN to use make up. Seriously I had to get another African woman to come and put it on me for the new years party. I look like a clown when I try my red lipstick on my own.

No resolutions for me. My life is one of continual self-improvement no matter what year it is. Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you all attain your hearts' desires! And now, here's an oldie but a goodie; yes, despite my Gothic music tendencies, I love ABBA!

1)Work on improving myself. I feel I have changed quite a bit over the years and I really want to explore why and look for ways to heal and grow in positive ways.

2)For a some years it's been hectic especially on the career front so I am hoping to take a step back, a few deep breaths, do lots of research (and soul-searching) and figure out what the next step will be for me career-wise.

3)To talk to my kids more and spend more time with them, this has not been consistent at all mainly due to (2)

4) To find and maintain peace, contentment and a positive spirit.

HAPPY NEW YEARS, EVERYONE!!!

I'm going to:

1. complete the second half of my weight loss/fitness journey ( I did REALLY well last year),

2. do my best to establish a strong foundation in my new career,

3. gradually incorporate my personal hobbies back into my life, and

4. start reintegrating myself into my living experience (i.e. not being a one or two-dimensional person).

Happy New Year from me and Kevin! Just continuing to do better things in our lives so we can be a help to someone else.

1. Publish the current findings of my family history research

2. Cultivate healthy friendships and relationships [romantic and otherwise]

3. Cultivate my 'fro

4. Read Les Miserables

5. Be a satellite blogger for the WW Norton company in the Boston area

Have an amazing year! :D I'm full of so much optimism, which is odd for me because I'm rarely this bubbly about beginning a new year. But I don't know, I just feel in my bones that it's going to be amazing for me.

I wish the same for everyone else! Happy New Year!

Faith, finance, fitness, and romance.

Happy New Year Everyone!!

My only resolution is to press forward with the goals I have set and remain positive no matter what life brings.

2012 is my year of self improvement. I'm going to get out of my way and stop running from success. I will finish and publish my first book on Amazon. I will lose 25 pounds. I will speak my mind more. I will say no more often. I will walk around with a smile on my face for no reason. I will move to Italy when I graduate. I will love myself and put "Me" first.

This year I plan on spending more time being the right person instead of looking for the right person. Start my own business; start working on my second bachelors degree; visit 2 foreign countries; develop a consistent workout routine; and, finally become a vegetarian
