With just a few more clicks of the clock it will be a new year, 2015. A year full of promise and adventure. That’s my new word for 2015: adventure!
Please come back in the new year where I will offer an abundance of good words and encouragement for you, your life, and the fulfillment of your dreams. God be with you this day and every, and I look forward to a prosperous, healthy, amazing 2015!
What if we made New Year’s resolutions that really stuck? What if we used every year as a learning experience? A launching pad into the new year, armed with all this valuable knowledge with which to make the upcoming year so much better?
With the transition into every new year comes a time of reflection. We look back on the year before. Sometimes we bid it good riddance. Sometimes we’re sad to see it go. Other times, we look back with a sense of satisfaction and an attitude that it was a solid year, had its ups and downs (but thankfully more ups), and we came away with some good thoughts and lessons learned, stronger and ready to embrace the new year.
Merry Christmas to you all! Thank you for being faithful readers and visitors! I pray that you are encouraged throughout the new year! let this be the year of living your dreams. Whatever your dreams and aspirations are, do something every day–no matter how small–towards the realization of those dreams.
If you want to write a book, write every day.
If you want to travel, visualize your trip. Start planning the trip. What will it cost? What will you need? Then start squirreling away whatever funds you can afford to.
If you seek a better job, map out the details of what you need to do to be qualified for that job. Research!
Your dreams are important! Don’t let them just be dreams any longer. Take steps to put them into action and live them!
Be encouraged and be blessed!

Today was a different kind of Friday. It ended up being “date day” and I didn’t get anything else done at home including cleaning or writing. Once the kids were safely deposited at their respective schools, my husband and I hit the open road for a day together filled with “whatever.” He’s been working a lot lately for which we are grateful, of course. He surprised me with a rare weekday off and it was good to have that couple time. We had a lovely breakfast at a favorite cafe and tackled some errands including dropping my car at the mechanic’s (still waiting to hear on that and praying it’s easily fixed and most importantly, inexpensively), and various other stops including the dollar store, our wireless carrier, and the bank.
