New years resolution

This year I am doing things a little bit different. Every January I sit down and write my goals for the up coming year. I usually make categories and make lists under each one. Last year I even made a book dedicated to my new year's resolutions. Not this year....this year I am setting ONE goal. It is weird everyday I see things about myself that I want to change and I think to myself "that should be a goal this year", but I am not adding any more to my list this year. 2011 is different. I bet you are dying of suspense wondering what my one goal is, right?
I have decided that this year I am going to only speak KINDLY of women. Last year I thought a lot about how our society has trained women to hate each other. I think it is so sad. In my world that is going to change! If you are a woman, then I am on your team. I may not agree with you on everything, but I will respect you. Men and children are great too, but I really feel like women need to stick up for one another and help each other out. Seriously, what is better than having a great girlfriend that you can tell anything to and you know that she will not judge you or think differently of you? What if ALL women treated each other that way? Wouldn't our world be such a better place? What if instead of gossip, and backbiting and all the other horrible things women can be so good at; we replaced those things with friendship, kindness and understanding, all the things that women are even BETTER at? Well, I know that the whole world will probably not jump on this band wagon, but I am going to. I may slip up, but I am dedicated to this goal (otherwise I would not be sharing it here) I think this will be a great year for me and I hope it is for you to. What do YOU think?

I LOVE that goal. I think I need that one too. I've caught myself in some gossip situations in the past while that made me feel awful. Here you go again Nae- pushing me to be better!

I love your goal! You brought tears to my eyes & I got kind of choked up as I was trying to read this to your Dad. I think I will hop on your bandwagon. I hope you have some handles & seatbelts because some days are bumpy rides.
By the way, you are an amazing woman.

Alright. So, while I find this to be a very worthy goal, I also find it hard to believe that you have ever had an un-kind thought, let alone uttered an un-kind word about ANYONE.

You're so sweet. I love that you think you need to be sweeter. I do believe, however, that I will jump on your bandwagon as well!

Kristyan, you always push me to be better too!

Sherry, thank you! I know some days will be hard, but I will do my best. Thank you for always being so supportive of me. I have so much love and respect for you.

Erin, you are awesome! You always make me feel good. Thank you for that!
