If I keep my resolutions to myself, no one will keep me honest.

So now I’ll blame YOU if a I fail.

In 2012, I resolve to:

1. Shut down my computer every day. I need to do this for my computer, because even devices need some rest. And I need to do this for myself, because the vortex that is the internet sucks me in and distracts me from getting big things done – like laundry.

2. Do yoga once a week. I’ll be 32 in April, it’s time to start stretching with intention and finding my chi (whatever that is).

3. Call / text my brothers/sister at least once a week. Most likely, I’ll just text them, I get phone anxiety. Bottom line: I miss them and I need to be a better sister.

4. Hug Logan every day.  I do this already, but it’s important not to let it slip.

Look how cute he is! How can I NOT hug him?

5. Continue to slowly phase non-organic food out of my diet. This will be tough, there is a lot of inexpensive and convenient bad food out there – but when I drink spinach smoothies, I’m over the moon.

6. Become a barbarian. I have been pumping iron for about a year now, 2012 is my year to become one with Valeria.

7. Make really good work. Better work than last year.

Happy New Year, friends.  Let’s do this.
