For the past 25 years, I have made the same New Year's resolution: Throw out half of what you own and spend more time with your friends. Little did I know how prescient that resolution would prove to be in 2012.
I've practiced parenthood for 29 years now, and if practice makes perfect, maybe in 2013 I can finally get it right. So here, in the interest of achieving the massive self-improvement needed, are my top five resolutions.
Cease reading whenever I encounter the words "political gridlock," "informed sources," and "Eric Cantor." Cease reading before I encounter discussions of the 2016 Presidential race.
In setting New Year's resolutions this year, maybe we should stack the deck in our favor by getting the right "mindset" for achieving our goals. It all starts with sleep -- pair any resolution you have with more sleep for the best results.
As I think about the impending new year, it occurs to me that all of us have resolutions that we can easily make, and possibly forget as the year progresses. We all do it. We are serious about our commitments at first, and then, somehow, we fall into old patterns.
This year, I've decided to review what I call "failed accomplishments." These are things I meant to get done, but didn't, and essentially the reasons I'm not where I should be in life.

This is a letter I received from one of my spiritual advisors prior to the New Year. It's inspiring - it made me laugh, it made me cry and it made me ready for a fresh start & a beautiful 2012.
Yup, it's another year, which means it's my annual opportunity to gather some grist for my cranky mill. Nope, no 2011 recap of my favorite meals here, nor a hot food trend prediction recap. It's time to talk smack!
Welcome to 2012. What are you going to do to make this year your best yet? And no, we're not talking about unrealistic (yet well-intentioned) promises...
Happy New Year! We always find ourselves feeling ambitious around this time, whether that means working harder, doing something altruistic or even jus...
Stop right now with the excuses about the down economy and the drop in funding for the arts and understand this: People find a way to pay for what they really want.
New Year's resolutions tend to focus on denying ourselves stuff we love, on the assumption that if it feels good it must be bad. But why not just pick out something you love and resolve to enjoy yourself?
With the new year fast approaching, a lot of people are probably wracking their brains trying to figure out what their resolutions should be. Somethin...
I've certainly got my work cut out for me for 2012! But I feel like with enough determination and homemade moonshine and the right pair of heels, anything is possible. Here's to all of you having a wonderful new year.
By organizing a small New Year's Resolutions group (online or in the real world), you'll have dramatically more fun and see more success with your goals heading into 2012.
