Happy New Year!

Isn't it fun how everything seems new and exciting and possible at the beginning of a new year. It all depends on how tough we can be right there at the very beginning - like the first month or so, to get those new habits going. Well, I'm trying, along with the rest of you, to solidify some new goals into my daily routine. I've seen a great new video that I feel really good about called Forks Over Knives. I just feel as though the way of eating in that video feels right. I also read a book by Dr. Esselstyne (I think that's how it's spelled) called How to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. It's hard to change the way you have eaten throughout your lifetime. I also love to cook and especially goodies. We'll see how it goes. I hope that I can do it because I think it's part of living an authentic life, you know, doing what feels right. I've been trying to gather vegetarian and vegan recipes that look like they'll be really yummy. I've been using the Peppered Plate app on my iPad, hoping that will make this a little easier. So, this is, of course, only one of my new years resolutions, but one of the more complicated ones since my family doesn't really want to change the way they eat. Sometimes mamas gotta try! Making stuff is another one of my resolutions - like dollies.  These ones in the picture came from a flicker picture (http://www.flickr.com/photos/34725112@N08/4481997995/in/photostream) as an idea.  I'm working out the details of the dolls that I want to make.  What are your new years resolutions? Love, Annie
