2010 - NEW YEAR'S AFFIRMATIONS

I had decided to post New Year's Resolutions to make myself accountable for them since when I make them I normally don't follow them all year and I don't make them every year.  Well, I had talked about this with my friend, Susi, and she said it would be better to put out Affirmations to the Universe.  And by God, (yes I said God on purpose and not in vain) she has a point.  If you have ever watched the DVD or read the Book "The Secret" or even read a book on Feng Shui, you would have to agree that this is the better thing to do.  So here are my 2010 Affirmations:

1.)  I will be Happy!
2.) I will be Healthy!
     a.) I will exercise (I will take a Yoga class)
     b.) I will eat healthier foods
     c.) I will drink less carbonated drinks
     d.) I will be more aware of things that make me healthier
3.) I will spend more time with Brandy taking her for walks at the Park!
4.) I will be orgnized.
5.) I will be successful with my Etsy shop.
     a.) I will join the Etsy Full-Time Crafters Team!
6.) I will be successful with my handmade items that I make to sale.
      a.) Things on consignment at Another Time Another Place
      b.) Craft shows and other places I may go to sell my products
7.) I will exercise my creativity.
      a.) I will learn more items to knit.
8.) My car will run perfectly!
9.) I will take more time to read.
10.) I will watch less tv - I'm actually already doing this right now!
11.) I will be a better friend to my true friends.
12.) I will get rid of the friends that aren't so true.
13.) I will meet lots of firemen! (This one if for my friend Susi!  She thinks I should make cookies and take them down to the local fire station and meet a fireman.)
14.) I will meet the "ONE"!
15.) I will get my house back to myself.
16.) I will be Wealthy!

Buena Suerte to everyone that does New Year's Resolutions and New Year's Affirmations!

New Year's Resolutions

I've been thinking about this for awhile. I don't want this to just be something I write down but also something I implement into my daily life. I want to make changes and I want them to "stick"!

So here are my Resolutions for 2009:

1.) Eat Healthier
2.) Eat Less - I tend to eat more in the winter months - which I think is normal for most people, but I want to be more aware of my eating habits and cut down.
3.) Save money!!!!!! - cut down on junk food (which also helps in eating healthier), stay out of craft stores and Walmart. Yes, I tend to spend a lot of money at Walmart even if I just go in to pick up 1 thing real quick. Be more aware of the money I do have.
4.) Get all my bills paid off, except for major debt, such as my house....That's obvious unless I win the lottery or something.
5.) Win the lottery! (sorry, I just couldn't resist!)
6.) Read more. I love to read but never make time for it. I have a million books......okay, so I exaggerated..........But I do have ALOT!
7.) Learn new stitches and techniques with knitting. Make things for myself or for people as gifts.
8.) Get more involved with charity. I want to start making things to give to organizations and hospitals that collect for people that don't have much. Also, donate my time when I can.
9.) Spend more time with friends that I normally don't get to see often. Make time for the people that are important to me.
10.) Win the HGTV Dream Home! (come on.......you should always dream BIG!)
