My First Post of the New Year

2014.  

I wanted this post to be brave.  I wanted it to represent all that I am.  I wanted it to be witty and tearful and profound and shocking and wholeheartedly authentic.

I want to start out on the right foot.  (Which one is that?)

I want, I want, I want, I want.  Me. Me. Me. Me.

That's not the truth this year.

                ~~~The truth is that this year is about YOU~~~

• It's about what you think of when your eyes open in the morning. 
• It's about who you serve.  
• It's about how you help.
• It's about what good you do.
• It's about how you make this world kinder, more real and more worthy.

It's about YOU.  Be kind to yourself.  (Click to Tweet).

Hello, 2014.  Hello, you. Breathe.

Kindness (something bitches can also try)

I am kind of a bitch.  But I TRY to be a kind bitch.  Sometimes it works.  Sometimes it doesn't.  When I am pregnant or otherwise hormonal, it is even harder.

I curse a lot.  I am VERY bossy.  I am mostly right about everything, all the time. 

These are things I am striving for:

Humility, softness, receptiveness, humility.   Not being convinced that I am always right.  And just plain being nice.  Using a nice tone of voice.  Not getting exasperated. Being HUMBLE and not bratty.

If you have never, ever, ever, ever clicked on a link I posted, please consider reading This Article.  It is wonderful and will make you feel warm and fuzzy.  Kinda like this kid, who makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
