Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Happy New Year to everyone, too! You all are the best. We just came back from a camping trip on Padre Island. So lovely, warm and nice to walk barefoot in the sand and listen to the sound of the sea. Now we are back home and it is snowing here in the mountains. My resolutions are: to get transportation for my son. (we live on a forest road so they do not want to do it) exercise more, eat better, lose weight not worry so much practice yoga again keep laughing get a will - do more long term planning for son finish work on house (ha) write poetry again and continue to crochet practice being grateful practice violin I could go on and on! peace, Sandy in New Mexico, mom to 16 year old boy with autism and daughter who just turned 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Weve been doing this the past 2 years on another forum board and this past year i posted several goals and i have either met several or came really close to completing them. (though there are some that i never even touched) Maybe i just had too many goals. lol Lets see my first goal(or first on my thing to do list) is to make soap. soap soap soap. I have made lotion, and i LOVE making scrubs of all kinds. and I occassionally fiddle with M & P though i don't care too much for the qualities of M & P too much. But i have been to afraid to work with Lye. but i told meself that first thing after the holidays i am going to do. and do it and do it. and try and make a whole slew of soap. Other goals include making a cataloge, working on other new lines of products. Makeing and bringing samples to differant places, especially those places who asked for them such as Joanns ect. Working on many other projects such as the koala bears i started and didn't finish, soap dishes, many spring crafts i have had plans for for the past several years but never done yet. And helping to raise money for endangered animals. I also hope to do more craft sales then i did this past year. and get myself organized enough so that when the holidays come around again i will be ready for them early and can actually enjoy them. Is that possible??? Would be nice. > > TeeHee!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 I have to stock up on soap too, bigtime. But its also time to do some valentines stuf and I've got some ideas brewing. Beginning in December I went into two other places to sell my wares so thats 5 total now in the greater Rochester areas so that should keep my busy. My goals this winter is to stock up the soap, and do a lot of experimenting with MMU. I would love to get a new line going. Oh and also learn how to maintain my own website and not rely so much on my hubby who never has the time. I also want to try a few new products. Oh then in my spare time, and I STILL have quite a bit of vintage costume jewelry that I need to research and learn what I have here and figure out what I want to do with it. I have already picked up beading again a little, and plan to start painting my slates again soon. Shaye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 I had a few resolutions that I finally gave up on after using them year after year on New Year's Eve. LOL! My new resolution after that is to set reasonable goals for myself and stop making New Year's resolutions!!! I at least succeeded at that!! Happy New Year all!! I am spending my weekend moving! How fun! At least the weather forecast seems to be perfect weather for it! It will be worth it, I will get my soap work shop in the basement that I desperately need!

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hi Pam - Thanks so much for sharing these potential resolutions. Most of the ones on the list I implemented years ago. They work so well for me in my journey. There are several on the list I need to revisit. I love the last line. "Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed." It is refreshing to see the actions I have taken in my own life contained in your friend's list. These words of wisdom are worthy of being shared with family, and friends.
