2014 Resolutions

1. Set up my Vision board and Gratitude Jar
2. Do something good for my body everyday (yoga, spinning, juicing, smiling, yup all of it!)
3. Say Thank You before I get out of bed in the morning. (say it really LOUD if Darren's not home)
4. Keep my gratitude journal and prayer book
5. Go somewhere I've never been before (Europe? Maybe this is our year?)
6. Stop feeling guilty if I miss yoga if I truly didn't have time to go. (But also don't be lazy. Go when I have time)
7. Cross something off my bucket list (skydiving maybe? hmmmm…)
8.Keep on journaling and blogging (or at least be more consistent)
9. Help Strangers in need (don't just think about doing it. just act.)
10. Conquer a fear (going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, in the dark.)
11. Shop and Eat locally (as much as I can)
12. Explore NYC
13. Go solo to an event (instead of skipping it altogether because I can't find someone to go with)
14. Say more "Good Mornings" and "Hellos" to people =)
15. Always come from a loving and grateful perspective.

Here's to 2013

Wow, what a year! If 2012 was my final exam (more on that later), then 2013 might be the start of something really exciting! I learned so much!! I never felt more love or gratitude for my life and the Universe! And I was ecstatic through most of the year. Everything from my personal life to my career felt like it was building itself from the ground up. It was as if 2012 tore down all of my old habits, preconceived notions, and way of life; allowing 2013 to come in and teach me how to rebuild a better, stronger, smarter, more resilient, and more positive version of myself. And I could not be more grateful! Now the Happiness Project is really starting to roll!
