Thoughts on a New Year

By Anovelsource @thenovellife

2014

Are you one to make New Year’s Resolutions?  I go back and forth depending on the year, depending on the cycle of the moon, depending on the events of the prior year, depending on my mood at the moment, depending on. .  . well, you get the idea. . . 2014 is going to be a year of resolutions for me.  Somehow writing down my goals and determinations has a way of keeping me focused ~ especially when I write it on the bathroom mirror which I’m known to do

:-)

This year I thought I’d do one better ~ write my mantra for the year on the bathroom mirror and post my resolutions for all the world to see! That’s one quick way to keep me accountable (or a bit crazy!)

A few blogging goals that I plan to get underway beginning January 1:

  1. Narrow my categories down to less than 10.
  2. Share my personal journey to wellness & what makes this a “Novel Life”
  3. Both personal & blogging ~ take a photography class & a writing workshop
  4. Attend BEA and/or SIBA; and attend Bloggy Boot Camp in Atlanta
  5. Go through Bloggiesta Tips and participate in 2014 Bloggiesta

And personal goals? I have quite a few but I’m working at narrowing it down to a concise 137 resolutions. . .nah! who wants to keep up with that many?!?

  1. That 4-letter word you all know that I hate? That begins with a D and ends with an iet?  Well I am working on healthy eating ~ cutting out sugar and flours in the hopes that I will feel better, look better, BE better.
  2. Family is in that line up of God, Family, Work ~ I’ve been a bit remiss (with some good reasons albeit) with my family.  This is the year to fix that.
  3. Contentment in who I am where I am.  Continue on Brene Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection e-course  which has been a journey in and of itself.

It’s all a journey, a fabulous, messy, exciting, terrible and thrilling journey.  One that I’m thankful to you, dear Reader, for continuing to hang out with me on and one that would be awfully boring without the bumps, mountains and molehills.  Cheers to you for a very happy {horsey} New Year!
