I followed through on my 2009 resolution to donate blood to the American Red Cross every 56 days. This is the fist resolution I have ever stuck to, so I crocheted an amigurumi blood drop to commemorate the event.

For the Macro Mondays group theme "New Year's Resolutions"...

My new years resolution, since I just thought of it a few weeks ago, is to do something fun, that we've never done before, once a month.

Insight for New Years Resolutions from Baja California

So you see, we are the same person that some people love and others not so much. Everybody has their own perspective, right? We are all coming from a different place and everyone is entitled to the way they feel about the world. Yet, we shouldn't let the opposing opinions of others bring us down and take away our self esteem and or belief in what we can do and become.

Please Like, Share and leave any of Your New Years Resolutions in the Comments area for 2013.

Happy New Year and God bless!

This photo is an one of several I shot for a recent feature for Etsy's blog the Storque. The article discusses my New Year's resolution to make one jewelry donation every week of the coming year to support a charitable group. I will try to donate all the items to the groups fundraising auctions or list them in my Etsy shop with all proceeds going to a charity.

For too long a time now I work in spurts of organization...I have been 80% organized untl the twins but 3 years of being sic(preggo) and no sleep 18monts later..My organization has slipped away and and Mounting into monumental proportions..(to me)I am overwhelmed. I keep stumbling with flylady and know that each stumble set me up for today> TODAY right now I am making a WHOLE HEARTED commitment to myself,myfamily,myhusband,myfamily,friends,and the Mother Earth.... to NOT be a PERFECTIONIST and to take ONE step at a time.

I will Declutter,Reuse,Recycle,Stop buying needlessly,Reduce my foot print. I am integrated every tiny bit helps..one step at a time

I intend on having a harmonious,Warm,Magical,Romantic,Enriching,CLEAN to every corner.(not in one day or at one whole time) Beautiful HOME to Grow my little ones in warmth of Heart and Spirit. Doing this will give me TIME with them, ME, Hubby, Connection time with Friends Family...

I will have time to CREATE and My Heart will Sing since there's no trace of"guilt" for fear I a not doing something eles or not deserving this time.

I will make this fun for me by embellishing my FLY Baby Steps...so my GEMINI twins will play and pick up!

Here I go to Shine my sink I am jumping in!

2014 A Year In Pictures .....

The 365 Toy Project # 171

I spent the first day of the New Year climbing Enchanted Rock, located in Enchanted Rock State Park just north of Fredericksburg, Texas. It’s deep in the Texas Hill Country and has so many wonderful textures and climbing spots that you could spend a week up here and never get bored. It’s somehow hard to capture the true landscape in just one or two pictures…

Surprisingly, I didn’t really have an issue with this climb. The last time I climbed this I was dying the whole way and had to make multiple stops. I was also about 40 pounds lighter, but I was a smoker as well. It really showed me how much healthier I am (even though I gained weight after I smoked) being a non-smoker. For those out there who have set a 2012 New Year’s Resolution to quit smoking: go for it. If I did it, then you can do it, and it’ll be the best thing ever.

I have a lifetime dream to climb a mountain in Colorado, Longs Peak. I was happy that I was able to make it to the top of Enchanted Rock, but I have a long way to go if I’m going to climb a 14,000 foot mountain. As long as I have to go to get in shape… I know that I can. I know I can do it, and I won’t stop until I do!

I expect a lot of days like this in 2012, where I find myself surprised… pushing myself to do more and more… and succeeding.

I photographed this for the 'Our Daily Challenge' Group. The theme today (Feb 2, 2011) was "Quoted".
