Wow–so 2012 is here…really? Last I checked it was Labor Day. Time flies and waits for no one.

Last week I was listening to Jeff Johnson on the Tom Joyner Morning Show and he spoke about New Year’s resolutions. He basically stated that we start off strong and the fizzle out. And then we come to the end of the year and  ponder upon what happen. As Arsenio Hall used to say “Things that make you say hmmmm.” 

If we sit back and think about the word “resolution” or “resolve,” in my mind it means definite or end all, be all. Resolutions, at times, can be heavily weighted. So when we don’t accomplish them, we’re hard on ourselves making it a greater challenge to achieve them.

This year: I am taking “resolutions” out the picture and replacing with ”evolutions” which is a process and more attainable in my eyes.

My four EVOLVE-lutions:

1. Evolve into a healthier being through diet and exercise.

2. Evolve into a better person when it comes to the important relationships and friendships in my life.

3. Evolve into understanding that adversity has no face–thanks LVA.

4. Evolve into not sweating the small stuff. People are people and I can’t control that. I can only control myself.

So, PDD family: In 2012 I am resolving to EVOLVE.

 Happy New Year!
