My New Year's Resolutions for 2013



My New Year's Resolutions for 2013 are:

1. To Live Out Loud. To make the most of each and every moment. And to care for all those around me, because that's what makes life worth living.
2. I want to be more positive.
3. I want to try to not take things personally. What people often say is a reflection of them and not me.
4. I want to not let things get to me like they do. I need to just let the things go and to not worry about them like I do.
5. To read a new book once a month or for however long it will take me to read the book. Actually need to finish reading 8 books that I had started reading months ago first before I start reading a new book.
6. To keep up on my diet by not eating dairy. I did really good last year by not eating a lot of dairy. I need to start exercising this year to help me loose more weight. I weighed myself today and I weigh 144.6 pounds. My goal is to weigh 120 pounds by the end of this year.
7. To keep my 3 blogs all up to date and to work on my deviantart page and keep that all up to date as well.
8. To work on my scrapbooks through out the year and keep them all up to date too.
9. To clean my bedroom from head to toe and get rid of a lot of stuff that I don't need anymore.
10. To come up with a new name for my photography business. Get a new website for my photography business and find new ways to get more business. I love being a photographer and want to do this job full time and for the rest of my life.
11. To keep my hair short all year long. 
12. To start going to my LDS Singles Ward and to get my records transferred to the singles ward. I want to go to church to meet new people and make new friends. Not to meet my future husband because I don't ever plan on getting married. I like being single. Happy 2013 my friends and family!!!
