Get more sleep- didn't get enough this year. Of course be healthier, relax more, etc. I write mine down, lose them, and never keep them. I'm hopeless at resolutions, so I'll call mine revolutions as that sounds better and more exciting. ;)

Although I rarely make them any longer, I am still happy that in 1995 my resolution with my (then faire virgin) husband was to "do more stuff together".  So he was game when I suggested doing faire.... and look where we are now.    That's one resolution that is easy to keep!

Mine is to continue to keep my heart and mind open to the love that is brought to me every day in so many ways and from so many directions and to return that love, measure for measure.

This is a pretty pivotal semester for me, so I'm resolving myself to really putting forth the effort to doing well.  Not like I do bad normally, but I really *have* to do well now. 

I'd also like to find myself closer to this pseudo-spirituality that I've been getting into more and more.  There are some times when I need some conviction and help from someone other than myself...

And I suppose that this is more of a goal than a resolution, but getting a boyfriend sure would be nice too...Haha.

To lose the weight that's been creeping back on.

To finally learn how to sew and make some simple Ren garb.

To stay in closer touch with family and dear friends.

To work hard to make the Cursillo weekend I'm in charge of a success.

To try to stress less.  The hardest one for me now at this point in my life.

TO CRUSH MY ENEMIES, SEE THEM DRIVEN BEFORE ME, AND HEAR THE LAMENTATIONS OF THE WOMEN!!!!!!...



And maybe drop a few pounds and get back in shape.
And clear my property on RenFaire Drive for my new house so my RF friends have a place to crash if they want.

And then put in motion my plan for WORLD...DOMINATION!!!!!!!

Listen more and judge less.

A wise man once said, "The reason we have two ears and one mouth is to listen twice as much as we talk."

And another, "Listening is an act of love."

I'm living my life with more conscious effort to bring about greater health and happiness not just in myself, but for every being.  I'm going back to my Girl Scout days and the idea of leaving places better than you found them, so I continue with my desires to leave this world a much better place than I was born into.  I will keep looking for solutions (re-solving) to Great Problems (i.e. quality water, food, shelter, clothing, and education for every person) and focus on manifesting passion, prosperity, and peace for all.  It's my intention to inspire and empower as many people as I can to live their dreams.

I'm also hoping Sustainable Living goes mainstream..

And to add to Richard's quotes:  "When we practice listening we become intuitive"


Oh yeah, I'm going to let my Creativity flow :)


Best Wishes!

See Capt., dat's why we iz frienz! ;)

Seriously, though, I was actually thinking about this a bit last night, as I was drifting off to sleep. Dunno if it's a resolution, per se, but it occurred to me that I should be more conscious of God, talk to him more often - not just when things aren't so good, but when they are, too-and even more importantly, to STFU and listen when He talks.

And drop a coupla pounds, that'd be good, too.

Is it too late to make resolutions?

Got an idea from www.threadsmagazine.com.  Instead of making never-ending and never-finished to do lists, I'm going to keep a list of the things I *have* accomplished.  It may help me to be less negative, and reduce that frustrating feeling of pointlessness.
