Someone once told me that Persistence and Perseverance are omnipotent. With that in mind, I have decided what to Strive for in 2012.
I will strive to help Educators get actively engaged with Twitter. In the short time I have been with TwitterNation it has altered my perception in a Good and Profound way. And, it is the best source of Professional Growth and Development there is to offer.
I will charge forward with a full head of Motivation to pursue my return to running. I've been away from it for many years and am finding that I genuinely enjoy this form of exercise. Besides, it is excellent for maintaining positive well-being.
I vow to BE THERE in each moment with mindful awareness for my family. When I caught myself spacing-out over stuff at work as I was saying prayers and tucking my kids into bed I knew the jig was up.
That is my list. I am not going to ponder it. Nor am I going to talk about it. I am just going to Strive to Do it. Any Encouragement you can offer will be appreciated! Please check in with me from time to time.
Here is to a Healthy, Abundant New Year.
Next week, April 18-24, 2011, is Screen-Free Week.
Get outside! The weather is warmer and sunnier. Daylight is lasting longer. There are trails to hike, bikes to ride, and seeds to plant. Even more, there are balls to kick, throw, and catch. There is tag and hide-and-seek to play. Still more, there are kites to fly and sandboxes in which to dig.
Or, if you must stay inside, then read a book, play a board game, or draw a picture. Maybe do a craft, throw a party, or create some fun scrapbook pages.
The link below includes guides, ideas, and resources for Screen-Free Week:

Just turn off that television. And computer. And video game.
