New Year's Resolution 2011

This year I wanted to be simple.  Last year I made about 800 resolutions and didn't really follow through with any completely.  I don't regret them at all.  They made a difference in how the year went for myself and my family.  A good difference.  However, I want to simplify this year.

I am making one resolution this year and I have several ideas that I want to influence this year.  These ideas are not resolutions per se, but they are similar.

My resolution this year may not even really qualify as a resolution for some people, but it really works for me.  I am quite happy with it. 

In 2011, I am going to ensure that my family consumes at least one healthy meal every day.

I know it sounds small, maybe even pitiful, but it is definitely important and it suits my family's needs this year. 


I will share my "ideas" later.

First Post on my new blog

You may have already gathered this from the title, but just in case, this is my first post on my new blog. 

I'm starting a new blog to protect my family and our privacy a little.  I also wanted to be a little more purposeful with my blog.  I'm not sure how this part is going to develop yet, but it is a goal.

I want to be transparent, authentic, and vulnerable in the things I post.  My purpose is not necessarily to share something that will change my reader's life, but rather to share what it happening in my life, though perhaps mostly my head and heart.  If you, my reader, are blessed or encouraged or challenged, all the better.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Here's to a brand new blog in a brand new year.
