Neal and I on NYE!

Very rarely as humans do we actually know when we are on the verge of something life changing.  When the calendar flipped over 2012, I knew that I was on the edge of a fantastic year filled with life changing  moments.  With that, it’s tough to not make resolutions for this big…big year.  As a blogger, it is a bit daunting to put my resolutions into the big wide world, now you all can hold me accountable.

I’ve picked five resolutions, that are simple and I hope fairly achievable.

First, I am hoping to conquer my “to-read” list.  I’ve had my Kindle for a year, and I keep downloading samples, without knowing where to start next.  This year, I am hoping to commit to tackle at least one read a month.

My second resolution is to remember to sparkle on a daily basis.  From accessories to “pep in my step”, to complimenting others I hope to carry a sparkling and effervescent spirit into 2012.

My third resolution is to add more recipes into my knowledge bank, especially cupcakes.  (Which are always a fun addition to any party or special occasion!)

I love this next resolution: to Keep on Dancin’.  You see,  Neal and I were literally dancing the minute the clock struck midnight welcoming in 2012.  I want to keep that energy and movement  going throughout the year.  From working out (to offset the cupcakes) to dancing with Neal throughout the year, I love the idea of keeping those feet moving in 2012.

The final resolution here is the king of them all to welcome changes with grace and open arms.  As I mentioned in the beginning of this post,  2012 represents plenty of life changes which I need to embrace, handle with grace and a bit of that sparkle.  From getting married (just 142 days!) to (hopefully) moving to the United Kingdom this year will be filled with milestone moments that can create stress but what a fantastic adventure!

I am excited to take on these resolutions and yes, it goes without saying I will be updating you as the year progresses.

Happy New Year all!
