Resolutions, intentions, promises, dreams.....

this year i have made the conscious effort not to make the usual "resolutions" which usually end about mid-february. instead, i am in search of my authentic self. it will be a long process because i plan to search slowly so that i don't drop any pieces along the way. you know, when you eat a cookie or a chip, and the first enthusiastic bite has you grabbing the pieces falling from your mouth so you don't lose any on the floor.

i like to think that i charge into new things and clean up the mess later....but that is not the case. actually, sometimes, i am rather .....careful. if i don't do something....or do.......or almost.....shouldas wouldas and couldas...it's a disease. this year i intend to have ease...without the dis.

ryan is working on low drag. my low drag represents something different. things that produce "drag" for me are.....regrets..........shouldas, wouldas, couldas......fear.

No Regrets is my mantra. Do it NOW!! Live, love, laugh....more often. Spend time with the people i love. Try all things i've thought about for years. thinking is ok, but doing is DYNAMIC. i'm going to ...

think less

do more

I support you ONE MILLION PERCENT! This post certainly resonates with me...and probably with many people. The funny thing is, you are the last person I would guess feels this way. From my vantage point you are such an incredibly DYNAMIC person! I actually have often compared myself to you...you know, if I'm in the mood to beat myself up, LOL! I'll think, "Look at all the amazing things Sandy does...the travel, the dude ranch, skiing, acting, decorating new homes, raising two amazing kids..." How do you do it all, Sandy? I'm sitting here in Scott's kitchen while he is putting his 11 year old to bed and I feel as though my life has been hijaked! WHERE IS MY TIME? And I want to have a kid! Holy sh*t! Perhaps I should reconsider...

But I digress. I just wanted you to know that my feelings and impression of you is always one of an incredibly fearless and dynamic woman. And I know that you do possess those qualities in spades...as for the parts of you that regret and fear, I support you in living this year without them! NO DRAG! xxox, E
