I had this really great and “philosophical” post about new years resolutions written and ready to post and I made one wrong move and all 700 words or more are now somewhere in cyberspace never to be read.

Maybe it was a sign that I was being too preachy rather than writing from my heart.

Long story short, I decided to take a different approach to setting resolutions or goals for the new year. Instead of setting goals like “losing weight” or “regaining physical fitness” (both of which I need to do),instead I let my subconscious flow through art.

I created two lists, the first one contains very specific things that I want in a relationship. As I drew, I focused on my desires and let them guide me. It looks like a dream-catcher or a tambourine – maybe I was channeling my inner Stevie Nicks. 🙂

The second list was bigger – it was my version of a New Year’s resolution.

In a nutshell, my resolutions boil down to this:

• Believe in yourself
• Rejoice in your gifts
• Explore the unknown
• Accept compliments
• Refrain from judging without understanding
• Love and take care of yourself so that you may serve and give to others

Above all else know that we are all worthy of love and happiness.

Happy 2015!
