One of the reasons I love blogs, blogging & the blogosphere (whew) is because of all
the amazing bloggers out there with the incredible talents and traits they share with us who inspire me daily.
Reading all your beautiful blogs makes me believe I can clean my house, organize my closet and try a DIY project and dress in fabulous clothing all while being a wonderful mother!
So in honor of all you SuperWoman I thought it would be fun to start January out with a list of traits & habits I hope to acquire throughout the year & tasks I wish to accomplish, see this post for more details.
My hope is that I can take on a new one every week and by the end of the year maybe some of them will have become habits and I'll face the end of next year as a 'better' & more developed version of myself.
I sense a feeling of responsibility towards you all to not let you down, as if you are holding me accountable so this actually has shot at working, so I'm super excited to start!! - hehehe :)
So without further adieu here it is:
Because this is my little game, I'm setting the rules; the list is in a random order, each week I will pick one of the items and take it on for the week and report back here.
Happy New Years 2011 Everyone!!!
