new resolutions

like i mentioned before, new years normally comes and goes without too much thought. but 2012 was a rough year and i'm ready for a fresh start. instead of creating a resolution that i will never keep (like going to the gym—ha!), i wanted to create a list of activities, goals, and wishes for this next year. some may take a few months to tackle, while others are there to encourage new experiences. so here it is:

my hope is to continue adding to this list as the year continues. and as i accomplish tasks, i will cross them off the list!

and now… the difficult part: actually starting! my plan of attack is to figure out a few items to focus on each month. of course, i'll share those attempts here. up first, trying to straighten out my finances (that'll be a big focus for 2013). i'm also going to limit my shopping which will help me to rediscover those hidden gems in my closet! and my favorite—redecorating my apartment without really redecorating. i'm going to contemplate a few design decisions (i think i've picked a color palette!) and hopefully start tackling the first few changes in the next few months!

let's get started!
