2010: A Year of Intention & Resolve
Posted by kaileenelise on January 13th, 2010
Be always at war with your vices,
at peace with your neighbors,
and let each new year find you
a better [wo]man.
(Benjamin Franklin)
I may be a bit tardy in presenting my resolutions, but I figure there’s still plenty of time with 350-ish days left in 2010. In addition to my modern girl’s manifesta, there are a number of things I want to focus on this year.
As I planned my intentions for 2010, I thought of ways to begin living my ideal life. An ordinary, yet completely fantastic, everyday existence. Keeping in mind that it’s the journey (not the destination) that matters, I resolve to:
practice yoga weekly
be kind to the girl in the mirror
eat with the intention to fuel my body
support my spine by sitting and standing up straight
wear my hair down more often
treat money with respect
consider tomorrow when spending today
enjoy time with friends and family
embrace my mister with love and kindness
adore my art & writing
relish every bit of my creative being
send invisible parcels of love into the ether
This year’s resolutions are much more abstract than normal, but I am tired of setting out to lose 10 pounds. It’s a new decade and certainly a good time to adjust my goal-setting strategy. By incorporating these resolutions in my daily routine, I will be well on my way to living the life of my dreams.

As always, you are a source of inspiration and sparkle! Great intentions. I know you will achieve all that your heart desires. xo
I like the list of intentions. Eat to fuel my body- is a great way to look at it.
Great intentions!
What fantastic intentions! You are an inspriring Sparkalista!! Big Hugs!
A good set of intentions
I especially like ‘embrace my mister with love and kindness’, something I have to remind myself so often to do; sometimes it’s too easy to forget how wonderful he treats me, and instead get mad when he makes my house messy or turns up late!
As for ‘eat to fuel my body’; I’ve started to listen to my body, rather than the media around me telling me how to fuel it. It tells me when it needs fruit, it tells me when it needs comfort. Our bodies speak much louder than we realize!
It looks like you have a great year ahead
I’m so happy to have discovered your blog today! Love your intentions and love your blog!
xo,
Carmen
