Happy 2011!

     It is 1.1.11.  I am leaving 2010 behind with a grateful heart and wonderful expectations for the new year.  I am thankful for the prince of a man I met in August, that I am marrying in 2011.  I am happy to have met my boss Angie this past year, and the opportunity to work at the school with all these amazing children and other women who make the school the success it is today.  I had the chance to visit Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Virginia, California, and Flagstaff in 2010, always in good company.
     In 2011, I have four resolutions.
1. Meditate every day.
2. Get my financial house in order.
3. Work on my housekeeping skills.
4. Lose 25 pounds before the wedding.
     These resolutions fit with my life priorities and goals of living more simply, being balanced, and healthy. 
     I'm making my life a deliberate adventure.
     I aim to keep this blog as a journal as I (with my understanding and supporting family), make changes in our lifestyles as we move to a more sustainable, simple life that brings the importance of our relationships with others to the fore, and pushes back the greed and unkindness of the mainstream.
     Right now we live in a rented property with a nice front yard.  We have two vehicles, which we drive around town and to and from our jobs.  We have three incredible children who are all in their preteens.  We do a lot of eating out.  All of us are interested in making changes.  Good luck to us all!
