I am not good at resolutions. I have a way of getting really excited about something and then once the initial excitement wears off I'm over it. I fully plan and commit to it at first and then after busyness and reality starts back up I forget them.

earlier). I hesitate because I feel like choosing it is flinging open the doors
of opportunity for me to grow in this area and that freaks me out. I know, I
know...it's just a word, but it means more to me than just that. So here goes
nothing…my word for 2013:
More to come about this in the next blog post. Stay tuned...
