"Life isn't about finding yourself; life is about creating yourself." -George Bernard Shaw
This is a quote to literally live by. Too many people I think, waste time trying to figure out who they are, instead of simply striving to be who they want to be.
I want to be the kind of person who is self-sufficent. I will boycott buying clothes this year and sew up my own.
I want to be the kind of person that is charitable, all year around. I will grow my hair out long to donate to Locks of Love and continue to try to contribute more to my community.
I want to be the kind of person who takes each moment as it happens, and lets it go as it passes. I will try not to dwell in the past, however sweet it was--it only takes up space that should be full of the present.
And as always, I hope to simplify, simplify, simplify.
How 'bout you?

I've yet to make all my resolutions, but yours sound so wonderful and encouraging!
Have a very happy new year on this chilly Arizona day :D
I concur-simplify.
I only strive to be healthy and happy and not be so hard on myself. I don't make detailed resolutions. Maybe I'm not pushing myself to be productive enough. I'm okay with that.
Happy 2010!
hey, i like the boycott. i want to do that too, at least not buy anything new. it's way too hard to not buy thrift store clothes, plus i have to get them for my etsy (always a good excuse!) But I want to be way less of a consumer and more of a creator! Thanks for being inspiring.
