In the beginning of 2014 I spent quite a bit of time deciding what this year needed to be. Personal Growth, Quality People Time, Building Blocks for the Future and Self Care. Decisions, not just random goals. Choices, not just a written plan I would forget about. And so it begins.

Firstly, I have found a holistic mentor to work with and deal with my health and nutrition issues related to allergies and food intolerances. Small, slow, steps that are already yielding great results.

Secondly, I will be working more with our garden and sustainability in the city, as well as finding a way to work with food insecurity in Worcester. My passion is Permaculture and finding a way to teach others and see that people are fed quality food.

Thirdly, I have a novel that I want to finish this year.

There are many other things that I would like to do, but I have chosen these three to work on in addition to spending more quality time with family and friends.

Ultimately at the end of the first goal, I will be in a place of digestive health and not ill from food. At the end of the third goal – I will self publish my novel.

For me, the second goal never ends. This is a lifelong passion.

In addition to changing my blog to this  new home, I will be limiting my time on facebook to work on these projects. I will not be checking it often, so if something is urgent, please contact me directly by phone or email. I have to admit, I’m craving a little less electronics and a little more people time. I miss handwritten cards and letters, and coffee out to catch up with people, rather than the blow by blow details of the day. I also know how much I enjoy the sharing of good news, and photos of family and friends, so I won’t stay away completely.

So that’s it. Exciting changes! I am so looking forward to this year and the new format of my blog/website. I hope to have many new stories to tell with our garden experiments in this new year.

See you next time!
