<br />
<i><b><What Do i Wish For the New Year></b></i><br />
<br />
<br />
i've touched on it already in the Blog> i have set some goals:<br />
<br />
A) in the Physical:<br />
<br />
1) Keep up with What i've started: FlyLady Routines! <br />
2) Fitness: adding some Yoga & Meditation into my daily schedule. starting with 15 minutes at a time.<br />
"baby steps"!!!<br />
Also some great motivation on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/FLYing-Fabulous/181409351886330">Flying Fabulously</a> FB site!<br />
3) Writing: as a "seeing" tool into myself & to journal this next year.<br />
4) square foot Herb Garden: Will start working the soil in Febuary. Plant in March. it will be a small area in the yard. i may add some herbs in a bed outside my back door as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
B) Mental:<br />
<br />
1) Reading 15-30 minutes before bed. i have some books i will be getting in the next week or 2.<br />
<b> i'm always open to Suggestions too</b><b>! </b><br />
The books i've picked out so far are:<br />
*. Book of Meditation <span style="font-size: x-small;">by Chris Jarmey</span> ~ reading this now.. very comprehensive!<br />
**. Jude's Herbal Home Remedies <span style="font-size: x-small;">by Jude C. Todd</span><br />
***. Grimoire for the Green Witch <span style="font-size: x-small;">by Ann Moura</span><br />
****. The Way of the Green Witch <span style="font-size: x-small;">by Arin Murphy-Hiscock</span><br />
*****. a Farmers or Witches Almanac<br />
i also have a few on my Wish list too that i will eventually get too.<br />
i will be studying herbs and essential oils. <br />
i will build my focus, strengthening it, therefore building my intent and power.<br />
<br />
C) Emotional:<br />
<br />
1) Continue FLYING!! FLY = Finally Loving Yourself<br />
2) Continue taking control of my thoughts towards myself that hinder good relationships.<br />
3) Build stronger relationships with the people i love. By keeping in better touch and sharing myself openly with them.<br />
<br />
<br />
Seeing all this listed together can look overwhelming but i'm taking it all in babysteps and have added everything to my Daily Schedule. i can do Anything for 15 minutes, Right??? LOL<br />
<br />
This is my first public <a href="http://jamieridlerstudios.ca/">"Wishcraft WednesDay"</a>!!! It's a great prompt to let us "see" our goals and what we all want to accomplish this next year!<br />
