I Resolve...

It’s that time of year when I feel the need to make some sort of resolution to improve my life for the upcoming year. As usual, I do well for about two or three hours before it all becomes too overwhelming and complacency doesn’t really seem like too bad of place to spend the next year. Well, 2009 will be different; because not only am I making a resolution for me…I am making a resolution for you too.

It’s rooted in the fact that the tail end of last year didn’t really feel all that good to me. The newspaper was full of gloom, the TV was just as negative, and a general sense of hopelessness reigned. All that furthered my belief that blind faith, a healthy dose of denial and good old fashioned ignorance is the perfect recipe for getting through these tough times.

So, with negativity lurking around every corner, I resolve to help you bring graciousness, peace, enjoyment, and beauty into your homes in 2009. Every so often I will give you a few hints on what you can do to create spaces that will inspire and revitalize your family’s spirit as well as recommendations for making your home the center of all that’s good and right in the world.

If you implement only one change as a result of our resolution, I’ll consider us successful. Just imagine, though, the difference of two or more alterations. Your outlook will brighten and your excitement will be contagious. Extended family, friends, and acquaintances will clamor to join our resolution revolution and we will make this world better one home at a time.

Cheers!
