We can be wing persons for each other-you did great in 2017 on healthy changes. Let's both keep it up.

I'm in total agreement though that we owe ourselves to each day live with our own values, create our lives in alignment, and move on if we are faced with stuff that isn't for us.

I figure by the time I fall off the wagon (around 5 January) I can't be bothered to start again. So I guess my resolution start on 5 January. Oh, and best wishes for 2018 from France.

And it isn'...2017 seems to have kicked my butt. And it isn't stopping. Our dryer suddenly stopped working tonight and when Bill went to leave for work his windshield wipers which we just got fixed a week ago decided not to work again---not good when it is snowing hard. Ugghh. I will be glad when 2017 is over. I didn't really do any resolutions for 2017 either and I admit that I felt lost at times. I am coming up with goals for 2018 and will be posting them in the new year. Hopefully they will help me make those changes that I need to make.

Instead, I try to focus every day on creating the life I want. Odd, as a school kid, the New Year always started in September. In college, I felt I got two New Year's, as we were on a semester system. When I worked, my year was broken up into weekly projects. As a SAHM, the toddler years were never ending, it seemed. In retrospect, while those years were exhausting, they were oh so simple. Now that they are all in school, the years seemed to once again start in September! I guess I am just going to continue to push forward each day by trying to live a life in line with my values, and continuing to quietly remove myself from any situations which aren't in line with those values.

When I was blogging, I did some work through a company called Collective Bias-there is also another group called Massive Sway. Look on Pinterest for blogging sponsorship programs or blogging resources. I am sure someone has come with a list.
