Resolutions

Lets face it, sometimes I suck at keeping my New Year's Resolutions. My guitar is still unplayed gathering dust from years back (although still determined to learn one day!! ;) and numerous other goals remain partially complete. Im a world class procrastinator! lol Last year my goals were simple, however... to be happy and healthy... and I can say that for once I did reasonably well. Overall I cant complain. This year, rather than focus on a number of goals which inevitably initially excite me, then end up burdening me by years end, I will set simple meaningful goals and the rest can just slot in.

Goal number 1: Declutter my life - that is; get rid of a lot of the things I have been hoarding over the years with an aim to one day use. Give stuff away. Throw stuff away. Do whatever it takes. The exciting thing about this goal is that I have already progressed it. Yesterday my husband and I cleared out our garage and back rumpus room which I will be turning into my art studio. Today I took a car load of things to donate to a second hand shop. Was very cathartic! :)

Goal number 2: Meditate and pray more - I need to slow my life down. To destress. I'm keen to start yoga and pilates again, and also to pray and focus on things that really matter.

In reality, I could set 101 more goals, but if I am able to achieve these two goals for the year then I will be a truly happy and blessed woman :)

Happy New Year everyone... may you reach your life goals too :)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year one and all. May 2011 be a time of blessing and fulfillment, health and happiness.
We had a few days away up the coast with inlaws so were keen to have a quiet NYE at home. Watched fireworks from our balcony (not quite as spectacular a view as the Sydney Harbour ones above) while drinking Baileys and reflecting on the blessings in our life. We then went and skinny dipped in the pool! lol

The weather has been so hot over the past few days, averaging between 30 and 40 degrees, so Ive been swimming most days and lazing about reading by the pool. Its a hard life :) I had my camera on hand to snap the view when floating on my back gazing at the sky as well as the insect which crawled over my hand on route to the neighbouring plant.

Magnets to inspire

Just bought these. Love them :)
