{ resolutions }

Be a great Mom.  Be patient, and nurturing, and kind, and firm, and strong, and loving.

Live compassionately and be grateful everyday.

Use my talents to do more fulfilling things. Blog more, decorate more, create more!

Meditate more and JUST BE.  Rest my mind and be content.

Make sure that everything I do, say, and am comes from LOVE.

What are some of your resolutions?

I wanted to take a moment and write a quick note to you all to wish you the happiest of holidays.  I know that this time of year can become overwhelming and crazy, but I hope you all find time to reflect on what this season is about...LOVE.  And I have loved sharing this blog with you all and finding inspiration in doing so!  So, here's to continued love to you all, as you spend time with those that love you in return!  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
