Wow – 2010 is here. Today is January 5, 2010 and I am amazed that another year has come and gone and a New Year is here. It’s the time of year that everyone reflects on their regrets of the last year and their resolutions for the New Year. I have just one regret – not keeping my resolutions from last year.
This morning as I was working out with my good friend we chatted up our plans for the New Year. I have many dreams and desires… this morning as I was sharing with her my regrets of 2009 and resolutions for the New Year as I had a moment of clarity and certainty in my heart. I knew the only person that can make things happen for me is ME! If I have a passion to accomplish something, I am the only person keeping that from happening.
Here is my regret: I regret not writing this book years ago… I have had a burning in my soul to write a book – not just any book – but a book to my girls, for my girls. I want my little girls to have a piece of my heart to hold to long after I am gone. I want them to know the things in my past that made me who I am, the principles of God that brought me through the tragedies that I have endured. I want them to know the choices I made in my life that were good, bad and just plain ugly. I want them to know the real woman that they knew as ‘momma’!
Today I begin this journey – each day I will write a note to my girls… sharing the special moments we share, reflecting on my childhood and embracing the principles of God through each experience.
Ok, first. Does this mean that you are blogging again? :)
