A New Year’s Revolution….

Here we are getting closer to mid-January…and every year, along with so many others, I make New Year’s resolutions. I resolve to improve my health, go on daily walks to slim down, beef up my savings program, finish all the projects started, read more inspirational books, and be a better wife, mother, woman and friend.

I love the idea of a clean slate, a fresh start with ‘new beginnings’. I believe that’s why so many of us make New Year’s resolutions.

But usually by February (or even sooner), I have broken one or more of my resolutions. I stopped my walking program, eaten too much chocolate, and my projects are still left unfinished. So not chocolate-coating the truth…out of exhaustion and frustration, I throw in the towel and revert to my old ways.

So this year, I have a new idea…a different approach. I’ve not made resolutions. I trust the process that I am being led by a Higher Power -- named God for me – to becoming the woman I was born to be. Instead of resolutions, I am starting a ‘revolution’ in me.

I’m dedicated to loving more and living more, to surrounding myself with the sparkle and warmth of positive energy, to creating and sharing laughter and joy, to becoming stronger in confidence and faith, to gaining even more clarity in the steps of my journey, to relying on and trusting more deeply in my own decisions and knowledge, and to taking time to appreciate the beauty and peace of life.

The revolution has begun!!! But I still need help with the chocolate issue!

In Gratitude…

Special Note: Isn’t there a ‘scientific report’ that dark chocolate is GOOD for you!?!?
