(Style and technique from Jane LaFazio DVD)
Well, it's that time of year again. Do an Amazon search
for "change" or "new habits" and you'll find more info
than you can possibly absorb, let alone put into effect.
(Note: If you're fainthearted don't input a search for
"New Year's Resolutions" as you'll get an
interesting & surprising porno entry.)
The roller coaster of resolutions rolls on. This year I will . . .

What a great post! I love the mix of (almost contradictory at times) ideas. Balance. That goes well with listen, eh?
Love your art. Thank you for sharing!
Jennifer
Yeah, I couldn't come up with all contradictories but I tried.
Have you looked at the Create Daily blog yet? I'm taking a hint from you and have courageously uploaded a photo to the Flikr group and posted a comment.
What will the world do if we both come out of the closet of insecurity this year?
Brenda, I have no idea how you could possibly "give more lavishly"! You ALREADY are a lavish giver, and I am inspired by your example! You are Example to me in too many ways to list -- but this blog post is yet one more bit of evidence that you are an incredible, exceptional, loving, giving Soul! And I can firmly attest that you "play well with others"! Abundant New Year blessings to YOU, dear friend!
I agree with Karen! You give of yourself abundantly!!
Love the posts!
like the picture of Newgrange tunnel....lots of meaning there!
We will have to get some new pictures this year!
Angela
Thanks, Anonymous Angela. I still don't know why Google won't let you set up an account.
Actually, that tunnel photo was from Brigit's Garden where they had a small, replica mound. They wouldn't let us photograph at Newgrange. I love that tunnel shot since it evokes so many sentiments and meanings in addition to bringing back memories of the trip.
