thanks for letting me share my 2012 new year's resolutions with you! i think putting them out there is really going to help me keep the goals in the back of mind as the year goes by and all sorts of unexpected twists & turns begin to unfold. i tried to make this year's resolutions challenging yet achievable and also tried to include a mix of specific and vague goals so that i have a bit of wiggle room as life happens.

i have a tendency to make these impossible lists of dream goals every year with incredibly specific parameters and am always disappointed when i don't reach them. this year, i'm setting myself up to achieve my goals in a more relaxed & enjoyable way that leaves room for spontaneity and my fickle heart. i have an amazing feeling about this upcoming year - i can't put my finger on it but i think it's really going to be one of years chock full of unexpectedly delightful surprises! i hope you are all feeling as optimistic & excited for new beginnings as i am...

xoxo
