Welcome, 2014

Praise God for another year!

I hope that you all had a safe and happy entrance into 2014. I've been blessed to be home with my family and friends for the holidays. And, I've been especially blessed to spend time with my favorite (well, only...well, only biological) niece. She is the most precious thing God has made. And my brother and sister-in-law are wonderful parents. My mother is in first time grandmother HEAVEN and my dad is just trying to hold the baby. The great grandmothers are taking it all in stride. I'm all about Kimtastic (yes, that's what I call her).

Personally, I've been loving Pinterest, (or as my boyfriend says, "Pin-interest") and I have been on my DIY skincare ish! HELLO, COCONUT OIL. Coconut Oil is seriously a wonder-oil.
I know y'all are not here for my family newsletter.

I know I have not posted as much as I could have this year, and I plan to change that in 2014. Here is an overview of my goals for this year:

1. Put God First- this should always be at the top of my list. I know that God has been too good to me for me to not put Him first. I'm not going to preach to you all, but we need to get our priorities straight. 
2. Forgive everyone for everything- I know that this seems extreme, but why not forgive? Forgiving doesn't mean we don't learn our lesson, or forget what happened, but it means that we let go of the drama and bitterness. I don't have enough mental space to hold grudges, IJS. This includes forgiving myself...
3. Blog more- I genuinely love to write, and truth be told, I need the creative outlet. I live in a city where there isn't much for me to do, I have no family, and I need something to do, LOL.
4. Complain less- complaining isn't productive. Point blank. 
5. Don't make excuses, make moves instead- I am habitual procrastinator. I'm going to make an effort to just do it, whatever it is, when it comes up. No more putting it off. Like Nike said, "Just do it."
6. Get off my lazy butt and get healthy- I mean what else is there to say? I'm getting older, I'm not in great health, so I have got to get it moving!

What about y'all? What are your goals and resolutions? Let me know in a comment below!
