I'm sure it will come as no surprise that I like making resolutions. I had a few ideas for new year's resolutions floating around in my head before January first -- but I was still feeling exhausted after a stressful December, and couldn't quite get myself to focus long enough to make a plan. (And I love a plan!) So when I woke up ealier than everyone else on Sunday, I lingered a few minutes over my ideas...and resolved to keep it simple.
This year I will honor my gifts. Instead of being drawn into the web of worry and guilt that often accompanies my creating, I will focus on gratitude for my talents. Of course, I'd prefer to have a roadmap, but this is a journey that just doesn't have one. I don't know what route I'll take, what the mileposts are, but I do know that I'll put one foot in front of the other and hope I end up in an even better place.

This week I'll be mailing out the first Quote of the Month. You can win a year's subscription to Quote of the Month (a $54 value) by leaving a comment with your answer to one of these questions:
*what is your new year's resolution? OR
*what is one thing I can do to achieve my own resolution?
Be sure to comment by Thursday night, and I'll draw one winner on Friday morning (1/6/2012). And if you've already purchased a Quote of the Month series for yourself, you can still enter & have the new set sent to a friend.
Happy new year!
