This is a great quick video on making New Year's Resolutions versus setting goals.
The point that really hit home with me is paying attention to those ideas when they come. I have the same ideas that show up over and over again. However, I've ignored them as I pursue something that seems more 'reasonable'. Who am I to decide that? Maybe, just maybe, if the idea comes back to me over and over, the Universe is trying to tell me something? I think it's time to take action.
How about you? Do you have an idea (or ideas) that keep coming up that you haven't taken action on? Maybe this is the time to do it. Just take that first step and see where it takes you.

Perfect Timing
The end of the year was crazy busy for us. The kids have their birthday at the end of November. It usually falls right around Thanksgiving. Then Dax and I leave for a week long conference in Las Vegas and then the Christmas holidays and all the activities that brings. That's my excuse for the absence here anyway. :0)
While we were in Las Vegas the greatest thing happened and I just wanted to share.
We had been in a casino playing a slot machine and lost about $100 in about 90 seconds. As we were heading out of the casino to our actual destination (I don't even remember where we were actually headed) Dax was talking about how he believes to win but that he just keeps feeling let down. Especially in that situation. He was telling me that he understands why people lose faith and hope. That after someone believes for so long and sees nothing that it's easy to lose faith. On and on he went for our whole walk through the casino.
When we got to the doors and walked outside the light was red so we couldn't cross the street and had to stand and wait. We were standing there for about 30 seconds when we start hearing all this noise coming down the sidewalk. Turns out is was a line of about 10-15 people carrying signs and shouting out praises about believing in God and having faith. One of the ladies got out of the line and walked up to us and handed us a pamphlet and then got back in line and they continued on their way.
We were the only people in the big crowd standing there that they gave anything to. As they walked off, I told Dax that it was apparent that God was listening and that was his sign to just keep believing.
We've been to Las Vegas about 20 times over the years and that was the first time we have seen anything like that or had anything like that happen. It certainly was perfect timing!

Check this out
I really enjoyed this, so I wanted to share it.
It's a blog posting from Mind Valley. Just click here and see what he has to say about goal setting. If you're anything like me, that seems to be a daunting task but it doesn't have to be.
Mind Valley also has an app called Omvana that is great. You can use it to download music, speeches, meditations, etc. If you have a smart phone, you should give it a try too.
OK. That's all I have for today.
If you try either one of these, please let me know what you think.
Oh, and just so you know, I am not a paid spokes person. I am just sharing with you the things that I find helpful/useful.
Wishing you the happiest of New Years!!
