So, if we can’t do it daily… why not do it monthly? #awesome!!

My 2011 year was a shocker. I have said this a few times I know (so I won’t drum on)… but I’m very glad to see the back of it. In fact someone said to me that there had been a nine year cycle and we were coming out of it. I would have to agree wholeheartedly that we need to!!.

The year Twenty Twelve holds so much expectation for me that I dearly hope “it” and “I” live up to these expectations. However, a year seems such a short time when you look back and yet, such a long way away when you look forward. So, I do feel as if I have plenty of time to make things right in my world (once, completely and utterly, for all). And so I was inspired to journal this by a blog and a beautiful quote that I read this morning… and to that my friends, will be my goal for this year. The Twelve Teachings. Something to reflect back on in a positive light at the end of the year.

The Quote:

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends – they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything – they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them – actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up becuase if you give up, you’ll never find your soul mate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.” ~Marilyn Monroe
