Hi, thanks for visiting my page. I stumbled upon Sparkpeople a little over 6 months ago and it has made an amazing difference in my life. It is so nice to have a community of like-minded people to share inspiration and support. I love working out and eating healthy, but I fall off of the wagon frequently. I love this quote: "Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." ~Maria Robinson My goals for 2009 are: **************************************** MIND: **************************************** *Read a book monthly to help me grow as a person. ~January Book - 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen Covey. ~Currently too busy with my class to read, will pick this up this summer. *Find a hobby and stick to it for a year to see how I can progress! ~Signed up for a photography class - starts 1/21/09. ~January - will crochet a simple blanket (after I finish my sewing project from Christmas!!
