This is super late but still necessary.

Happy New Year! 2009 is here and I’m anxious for what this year has in store for me. 2008 was definitely a year to remember. I lost my mother, graduated from college, and became a mom. 2008 was my year of growth and indeed I grew up tremendously in 2008. My vsion for 2009 is to further that growth. I want to transform myself into a better me. Every year we make resolutions, some of us keep them, others not so much. For 2009, I just want to be better. I want to better my health, my mind, my spirit, my life. I want to be a better mother, girlfriend (trying to be a wife soon), sister, friend, daughter, Christian, neighbor, person. I have devised a 12 month plan to aid me in my goal of transformation and betterment. Each month is dedicated to an area of my life that I will focus on although the goal is to do everything continously throughout the year. These are subject to change:

January:  I want to change my eating habits.

February: Create an exercise routine, and stick to it.

March: Get a new job!

April: Money Matters: Goal is to save $1000

May: Learn to Drive, Get my License

June: Do some Community Service

July: My Month, I can do whatever makes me happy!

August: Xavier’s first birthday, lots of family fun

September: Get Serious about Grad school!

October: Work on writing my first novel.

November: Develop my interest in being a make-up artist and wedding planner.

December: Random acts of kindness

These are my goals for this year. I encourage you all to ask me how I’m doing, offer suggestions, or even join me (of course, make your own plans). By the way, its the 19th of January and I have yet to eat better. Food is a guilty pleasure. But hey, I’m a work in progress……..
