Hello, 2016!

Hello, everyone! I hope you've all had a great start to the new year. I hope to be more frequent with my posts now that the holidays (SO MUCH FUN!) are over. For anyone who happens to be new around here, the purpose of this space is to encourage one another and hopefully learn some new ways to better care for ourselves and our families.

For the first time in a long time, I didn't feel compelled to come up with a list of New Year's Resolutions. I am a super big fan of lists, so this was a little surprising I guess. Instead, I decided that rather than trying to stop biting my fingernails...again...I would just make daily efforts to

DO BETTER and BE BETTER.

 

 

This is my formal encouragement for you to do the same! Don't make unrealistic goals, but goals are great. We can't do everything that everyone else is doing all at the same time and be great at everything. Your husbands, your children, your coworkers and boss don't expect perfection from you. God certainly doesn't either. But remember the parable of the talents? {Matthew 25:14-30} God does have expectations for you, and so do all of the other people in your life. Use your talents, your abilities, branch out and find out some of your new talents, and just get better! That is my goal, my resolution, for the coming year and it's gonna be great!
