Pin It

     Obviously if you are breathing, you are here on earth. The Mayan calendars prediction of the end of the world did not happen.  Nor were we beamed up. So face it. You and I are still a part of this world. 2013 is here, alive and time is still moving along. We don’t know what is ahead of us, but if we choose to embrace each day as a challenge and incorporate faith and hope, it makes life easier. Faith to believe what lies ahead will make us stronger, more loving, more forgiving and more peace filled. Hope in knowing our world and our own lives are often changeable, workable, improvable and productive.
Resolutions and Goals

 

     Have you made any New Years Resolutions that you want to target, conquer, achieve or maintain in 2013? Are you anti resolution and don’t participate in making New Years resolutions because you know you probably won’t keep your resolutions? I have been guilty of both participating and purposefully not participating.
     Two years ago, I made a resolution to write my book and I kept it.  In addition, that same year, I also made a resolution to walk everyday, but did not keep that one. Last year, I don’t remember what my resolutions were. Oh wait. Yes I do. It was to continue to write thoughts here on my blog site. I have been pretty faithful to it, but not perfect. At times, its been a challenge for me to come up with ideas and topics to write about. And then there are times I can’t wait to post a blog because I want to share a story in my life or share my thoughts on breaking news in the world. Blogging has definitely helped me with my writing skills. I say that loosely. This year I will try to keep up with sharing my thoughts with you.
What do I see for 2013?


     Lot’s of to do’s and happenings. We are anticipating a new granddaughter soon and I am sure that will be one of the most joyous highlights of this coming year. I can’t wait to hold and love another little miracle.

 

As for my own goals and resolutions for 2013…

 

One is rebuilding the Breath of Life Retreat House web site. I hope to make it more user-friendly and updated.
Another goal is to create a cook book from meals we provide to our guests here at the retreat house. Like my memoir, I will do this because I have been asked countless times over the past several years by our guests.
I also want to come up with a few new calligraphy designs and more coffee gift basket selections to offer here in our gift shop and on my Calligraphy website.
In addition, reading my book aloud so people can purchase it on Audible is a goal soon to be met.
The last, but not least is to improve and beautify Breath of Life Retreat House inside and outside as much as possible. The projects are endless.
And so I end these thoughts with four mantras I often say:
1. I wish I could clone myself.
2. There is never enough time in the day.
3. Where did this day go?
4. To be continued.  This is what I want engraved on my epitaph

 

Please share your New Years Resolutions, goals, anticipations, etc. I would love to hear them.

 

May your 2013 be blessed with Peace, Health, Faith and Hope.
