Welcome to 2008! If you’re setting goals for yourself this year - whether they be personal, professional, financial, or spiritual - make those goals and your commitment concrete by writing them down.
Make them specific. Break them into stages. Do everything you can to make them real - including making them realistic.
If your “resolution” is merely an idea that floats through your head on a champagne high or hangover low, it’ll follow the path of the bubbles and go quickly, quietly flat.
Live large, skinnies!

Yea, you’re back! :)
The pen is mightier than the sword, after all…in writing, it’s there plain as day.
I absolutely agree, writing down our resolutions, (and hopes and dreams and thoughts too) is the best and most tangible way to keep them in the forefront.
I’ve been journaling since I was 12 years old, rarely missing a day, and it’s amazing to look back on those written promises to myself each year and see where I succeeded and where I could have used more effort. Welcome back! :)
