Back to Blogging and some New Year Goals

I haven't been very consistent for the last year... (ok, years) in keeping up this blog - and for my family members who want to see more pictures of my kiddos, I am sorry. And for those of you who follow this blog for other reasons, I am here to announce one of my goals for this year of 2012 that I would like to begin blogging more consistently as a way to express my creativity, work on my writing skills and potentially utilize this as a networking avenue for future endeavors that I am slowly pursuing.

I have many passions and hobbies that I love to share with my friends in the flesh, so why not my internet friends who aren't close by - I am excited to share with you too! I may be putting things under construction as I purge, refresh, and renew this blog and others to better accommodate the two completely different types of readers I have. I will be keeping you updated through the entire process.

I can't wait to get better connected with all those out in the blogging world!

Here are a few of my New Year Goals for 2012:
- Have a more creative year - daily sketch book entry, periodic art observation (museums, art books, and architecture, and nature.), and blogging at least weekly (hopefully more than that!)
- Share my love of all things creative with my children by providing art projects, sensory development activities, and interacting with my through my goal to be more creative.
- Do something profitable with my creativity. (I have a few ideas in the works but nothing set in stone yet.)
- Keep my 4 times a week work-out schedule (It feels so good to be fit!)
- Become a better listener.
- Increase my spirituality through a more intensive scripture study, twice-monthly temple attendance, and developing a better connection with my Savior by better applying his atonement and more personal daily prayers.

What are your goals for the new year?

Best wishes ~
