Top Ten Dreams for 2015

When I stand before God at the end of my life,
I would hope that I would not have a 
single bit of talent left,
and could say...

"I used everything you gave me."

-Erma Bombeck



This is the year of talent, light and becoming unstuck. No more excuses or alibis. It is time for what and who is important and release the rest. A new start to living out loud. A year of saying no to the things that drain our energies and yes to those that ignite our strengths. It begins now. 

Here are my top 10 for 2015 resolutions. Dreams really... let's just call them dreams. Ones that I believe I can make happen. The laundry and Pinterest are going to wait each day until I check off at least one (or several) of these babies. To me they are scary enough to push me into the wide awake life I yearn for yet attainable enough to reap the rewards. Please comment below with yours. I would absolutely LOVE to hear them. 

10. I will be present. My phone will no longer be an appendage.
9. I will let go. And slow down. And embrace. And write.
8. I will read more real actual books. And care less about not-so-real reality stars.
7. I will laugh. Until I snort.
6. I will show gratitude and grace and kindness. And own not just the type of mother I long to be but accept the one that I am.
5. I will love my home more than Target. And Anthropologie. Okay. Almost as much as I love Anthropologie.
4. I will listen and be more patient with my kids. Even when they're doing a 10 minute soliloquy about lunch boxes.
3. I will finish what I start. I will control time and will no longer give it permission to run over me with the force of a tractor trailer. 
2. I will spend less time online and more time between the sheets.
1. I will take care of me. 


Love, hope and strength to you...
happy new year-
