For the year of 2011, I am hereby committing to

1- Do every single dish and wipe down my kitchen counters before bed each night, no matter how tired I am.

2- Clear off, organize and wipe down my dining/work table every night before bed.

3- Do a big wipe down, mopping of my entire apartment once a week.

4-Do an “If I am not relishing it, release it” grand sweep of my entire apartment on the first of each month (if I am in town, if not I will move to closest day).

5- Make a daily practice to acknowledge the greatness of someone in my life (whom I know or don’t know but inspires me) either by email or phone (or in person).

6- Writing and Publishing my book of “How to be Your Own Joyologist” (working title)

7- Writing and Publishing my memoir, the stories of my life, but most importantly how I have chosen to live it.

8- Going Greener and Cleaner in all areas of my life, thanks to the help of NO MORE DIRTY LOOKS I am currently completely changing out all of my beauty care products for true natural products (now washing my hair with just apple cider vinegar!)

9- Keeping in touch with my cousin Todd and my step-Grandfather and making sure that they fully get that I love them and want them in my life.

10- Taking beginner hip hop dancing classes.

11- Being a strong stance for you to know that you are the creator of your own life and that I believe in you.

I am so grateful for this life, for all of you, for all that is and for all that is not.  2011 we are on!
