Happy New Year!!!
Out with the old & in with the new. I have always thought of the New Year, as a new, fresh start. So far this year, not too many mistakes, wrong doings,poor decisions, or tears . . . YET. They will all come, and with them all will come growth & knowledge.
2009 is behind us & as we begin 2010, I am very hopeful for this coming year. I want to set goals that will help me become my best self, spiritually, emotionally & physically. I want to be a better wife & mother, daughter, sister, friend and a better self. I feel I need to focus on whats really important for me right now in my life.
I am going to steal an idea and word from my dear friend Jody, who in turn stole it from another friend. To take a word & have it be my theme for this year of 2010. I loved this idea, and I think that it will really help me to focus on whats important in my life. Truly what a better word to use than EMBRACE.
The definition of Embrace is to hug, cherish, love; encircle, to enclose; to take up especially readily or gladly .
What could truly be better this year than to cherish, love & take up readily life & what ever comes my way. To Embrace my family, my self, my home, my friends and my life.
I want to Embrace my calling and love the Young Women whom I serve. I want them to learn to Embrace the trials that we are given, for in them we find our true selves. I feel this would be a great thing to learn at a young age. I wish that I would have, however, I am thankful that even at the age I am, that I am given the opportunity & challenge to learn it now.
So, for this year, I want to Embrace all that life offers me & all that I offer life.

You write more eloquently than I do! Loved the definition you shared too. I can't think of a better idea than to embrace everything around me that's called "life." Loved the post! You're so great!
XOXOJody
