Good luck with it! Paula - I tried a bunch of stuff last year and I'm stilling still and thinking about how all those things made me feel. Based on that I'm going to expand the ones that felt good and stop the ones that felt not so good. I do have big plans for the year! Thanks. Nellie - funny - thanks. Melissa great idea to challenge yourself to do more! I hope it goes well. Fiona - yes - go for it! I jumped the second time I visited this bridge - first time I observed but then was frustrated I didn't do it so I had to go back a second time about a month later. Thank jafabrit! I'm excited for what I can do this year. Thank again for the tshirt purchase Mimi. Maybe you'll be next off the bridge with that shirt! Shelia - freedom is a wonderful word. Good luck with it!

Love your blog. I don't have a single word that will be my rally cry this year. I will be using: "Just Do the Work No Matter What". Whatever imagined awful scenario crosses my mind, I am not going to let it paralyse me into not doing the work I need to do to move my art career ahead. And if an awful thing does eventuate - well I will just keep on doing the work Good luck and much success in the future to you Lisa and everyone else who commented.

Wow. I never heard of the "resolution revolution" before today, but I've already chosen the idea of "challenge". I've written and sketched and talked alot more than I've DONE, over the years. And this year I'm challenging myself to move beyond ideas, to what's real. There. I said it. GREAT photos. Wow.

I picked Freedom for my word. I've been whining a lot lately about wanting to be free from a lot of responsibilities, but in truth, I have to face up to them. I've been dangling the word "freedom" like a carrot as I look at the piles of things that weigh me down (like the weight you mentioned in the last post) and keep me from doing what I supposedly really want to do - in the studio and out.. It's working like reverse psychology. I consider procrastinating some more, then chant, "freedom, freedom, freedom" to remind me that the only way I'll be free is to dive in and be responsible! I'm already feeling free-er as things get done - even though it's not giving me any "free" time. Go figure. Ok, I’m NOT following you there!
