Happy 2017! After 34 years on this earth I know better than to make any resolutions. I rarely keep them. Actually I can honestly say I never, ever keep them. Not for lack of trying but because they are always too strict. I know I am not going to make it to the gym 4-5 times a week. I know I am not going to eat like a rabbit. My resolutions are almost always vain. They are always about looking better and not being better or feeling better.
This year I want resolutions that affect me as a whole person. I want to inspire the world, grow as an individual, become more fit, eat better but not deprive myself, and give back to my community.
I am choosing not the share them on this site. I want to hold myself accountable without it being public. Why? Because I do not want to feel as if I am doing things for others or for other’s approval. I want to do these for myself and only myself.

This year I do want to dress up far more. Not for attention or because I have photos to take but because I feel better when I am nicely dressed. So… nicely dressed I will be such as this winter pastels outfit I wore to work the other day. These boots from Cocquette Squad kick butt. They fit my thighs comfortably, are a soft material and can be worn all day because of the block heel. Yup- they are a winner!! They don’t have a website up yet but you can see all of their styles on the CS Instagram page: Coquette Squad.

I can never keep resolutions myself, so I stop a few years ago and now I just focus on three particulars of myself that I want to get better at (mental, physical and spiritual). I feel I achieve more when I just focus on these three areas as a whole. I feel the same way when I dress up. The people at my job look at you absolutely crazy when you dress up – they start thinking the worst, but from day one I’ve always made sure that I looked nice and it makes for happier days!
Thanks for sharing
thank you so much for taking teh time to read and then of course share with me. I truly appreciate it. I like the three areas focus and Im certainly going to try that!
I think you wrote this post with me in mind. I agree with everything… From not sharing all of your contributions to the community with the world as if your owe them to know your every move… to also dressing up more this year!! 2017 is the year of evolution and elevation for me and I am ecstatic about it! Awesome post!!
