Because I am of the belief that all attempts at change and personal growth begin first thing Monday morning, I’ll be kicking off my New Year’s resolutions promptly in the A.M.  Since I am guilty of creating a laundry list of uber-lofty, unattainable, stringent, and outright ridiculous resolutions that I quickly shelf; this year I’m going with a kinder, simpler list of three:

1.  Write every day for one hour

2.  Take care of my body, mind, and soul

3.  Cherish and make the most of every moment I have on this planet.  Put the past to sleep and let the future reveal itself on its own terms.

May all of you have the healthiest and happiest New Year in 2012.  Be better to yourselves than you’ve ever been.  This is OUR year to make this world a kinder place to be.
