Resolutions 2011

Indeed it is nearly mid January, and I am just posting my resolutions.  This may seem a bit late to all of my loyal followers, but I have given my resolutions much thought prior to the end of 2010.  I drew up a list and thought long and hard about those resolutions.  Some of these are rather abstract in nature.  In other words, how will I know that I have indeed accomplished my goal?.  Others, are clear cut, and there will be no question as to whether or not I have succeeded.  Along with drawing up a list, I hope to be able to in some way articulate fully and profoundly on what some of these resolutions mean to me as the year progresses.  In a way, this will help me to meditate or contemplate along this year's journey.  Because I want to have a woman centered approach, I have chosen 13 goals.  Why 13?  Because there are 13 full moons in a year and the moon is the quintessential symbol of the feminine and the circularity and seasons that characterize women's lives. Red Moon Musings has a lovely explanation about symbolism with respect to the number 13. Well, enough of going on a tangent; here is my list in no particular order:

1. Be gentle towards myself; love myself!
2. Break the cycle of negativity.
3. Manage ADD impulses.
4. Write, write, and write some more!
5. Exercise.
6. Show love towards others.
7. Be in nature.
8. Show gratitude.
9. Finish dissertation.
10. Streamline wardrobe.
11. Streamline house.
12. Eat healthy.
13. Explore and travel the world.
