Happy New Year

I am not one to focus on the past but I will say that the last two years have brought change, required major adjustments, and lured me into a very low low in my life. When I say that nothing has gone as planned, I am not exaggerating. But I continue to look forward and to live the best life I know how. As I look ahead to 2017, I am hoping for more of some things and less of others so I thought I would put together a list.

In 2017, I would like less:

1. Worry
2. Reposts and copy posts and please-copy-&-paste-this posts on Facebook
3. Spam accounts on twitter
4. Screaming in the hallways at work
5. Failure, just in general
6. Old guys asking me out
7. Bills
8. Questioning my abilities
9. Fast food
10. Disappointing first dates
11. Racism, Separatism, Hate
12. Days when I forget to bring my lunch to work
13. Fake News
14. Video challenges
15. Loss
16. Drama
17. Fear and loneliness

And, in 2017, I would like more:

1. Love
2. Hugs
3. Renewed relationships
4. Dates with Dwayne Johnson
5. Career opportunities
6. Publishers sending my books to market
7. Financial freedom
8. Road trips with friends, to see friends, to make friends
9. Credit where credit is due
10. Events on my social calendar
11. Unity, peace, solidarity
12. Originality & creativity
13. Benefit of the doubt from and for everyone
14. Forgiveness
15. Did I say love? Is that worth saying twice? Ok... how about Love Love. That's a little different. 
16. Truth
17. Chances to CHANGE THE WORLD

In the meantime, I wish you a new year of peace, health, love and prosperity. In spite of the insanity of this life, I am so blessed to journey through this time and space with each of you. Love and REAL HUGS to all of you. See you in the new year!
