Hello 2013!

What is a New Year’s Resolution?  According to my friend Wiki, it is a commitment that a person makes to one or more personal goals, projects, or the reforming a habit, made in anticipation of the New Year.

Personally I think you can make a resolution at any time of the year.  Make a goal, set your mind to it and just do it.   But, a new year means new beginnings, new dreams, new goals, and new decisions.   It is a good starting point to do whatever it is you want to do!  Just remember to make your resolutions achievable.  No one likes to fail!  I mean we have all been there and made the “I want to get rich” or “I want to lose 100lbs” resolution.  Why not say I will work hard at what I do, save my money and invest smartly?  And yes, as for the poundage, who doesn’t want to take off a few pounds?  I know I do but I plan to focus on being healthy and making smart eating decisions to help become a better me!

2012 was a good year.  It took me home to B.C. to see family and friends, it saw me complete a few more classes for my ECE Certificate, my dad was finally able to leave B.C. and join my mom here on the flatlands, it brought me Hugo, and I shaved my head for a good cause (Terry Fox Run). Yes there were some bumps in the way, learning who I can trust, how to deal with disappointments and negativity but that has all helped me gain perspective and realize who I am and who I want to be.

I believe life is what we make it and you can’t depend on others to make your decisions for you.  If you want something, reach out and grab it, don’t be afraid to work your ass off for it either.  Because in the big scheme of things, YOU are responsible for you.

I resolve to make this an amazing year.  A year of adventures, of enjoying life, playing music, and laughing with friends.  I will look for the positive in every situation, not to ignore things but to accept and move on.

I wish you the very best for this New Year.  Hello 2013!  This is our Year! ❤
