New Year's Resolutions

Every year as the new year begins people make resolutions that only seem to dim and eventually fade as January gently rolls into February.

For those who frequent the gym throughout the year, this time of year is especially annoying as those with weight loss resolutions vehemently claim all of the gym equipment.

Each year I too hope to lose weight, yet I have come to realize that weight-loss is not spurred upon by hope.

Since 2011 my resolution has been the same, find a way to reach my goal of moving to Paris. As each year passes my faith and resolve is tested as I contemplate whether I should continue my pursuit or if I should just accept that this is not something that will happen for me.

Me.....forever the optimist, I am not ready to fold just yet. So instead I would like to wish everyone a happy new year and to not let barriers break you.

Your dreams are as big as your imagination and only you can make them happen....stay strong.

I would also like to send prayers out to my peeps in Paris and everyone having to deal with terrorism......Je Suis Charlie!
