two thousand and ten new years resolutions. (well maybe not THAT many).

The beginning of a new year always feels exciting and full of promise...new classes, a new beginning, hope and potential and dreams and anticipation squealing with excitement inside my heart for what is to come. I know full well that the initial "shine" of a new year wears off, usually by the beginning of February, but for now, in these first few days of 2010, I want to revel in the newness, and dream about what is to come in the months ahead. Here are a few of my goals and dreams for this next year, and I hope to stick with it (as much as I can), learn some new things, and grow into the creative animal that I am made to be.

1. do yoga once a week
2. eat flax seed every day
3. learn how to sew
4. exercise
5. take a pottery class
6. go through "The Artist's Way" book
7. keep up on my blog
8. take a train somewhere (maybe Vancouver, Canada?)
9. practice Spanish
10. play guitar and write music
11. read the newspaper
12. nurture my spiritual life (perhaps by going to a Monastery or looking into Spiritual Direction, and getting more involved in my church)

I have other ideas too, but I don't want to get too carried away...cheers to 2010!


You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the dessert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. -Mary Oliver
