It will soon be a New Year, and with it come new resolutions; new hopes and promises for our future.  I like to set an intention instead of listing resolutions. I pick a theme of what I will work on within myself, and I choose a handful of words that will be my guide for the year.  I’d love to hear about your intentions, themes and resolutions!  So head to the comment section and tell me what they are (I’ll share mine too).  Maybe we can keep ourselves accountable for the promises we’ve made!

Today marks the one week anniversary of the horrific event at Sandy Hook. I, like all of us, send prayers and hugs to those who lost loved ones and all those touched personally by this tragedy. Our country is grieving.

I’ve been reticent to speak on the topic, but I am so grateful to all those that have been willing to share their stories and voices as we search for solutions.  This is such an important dialogue that requires our participation.  I have read some wonderfully expressed words from others this week, and I thought you might want to check them out.
