..new year, BETTER me..

It's that time again!

The one day of the year that suddenly everyone is feeling regret or remorse from falling through on promises, and resolutions that they made for themselves 365 days prior. "I'll start my diet tomorrow," "I'll quit smoking tomorrow," etc...Or, if you're not part of that group then perhaps you're part of the millions that are preparing for the epic hangover that will ensue tomorrow after hours of liquor consumption and poor decision making.

In years past, regrettably, I have been part of the first group of people. I would say it's a new year, so it's a new me. I would start out the first week of January doing really well with a positive attitude, healthy eating, going to the gym...and then week two of January would roll around and there went my resolution. I would make excuses: "school just takes up all my time," "I have to work," or some other seemingly fantastic excuse at the moment.

I've been spending a lot of time in the last couple weeks thinking about my 2013. It was undoubtedly the "worst" year for me to date. While it literally began with a few poor decisions, contained a few hard life lessons, and one massive heart break it is ending with a very promising tomorrow, self love, and hopefully a lot tips (I am a bartender and will be unreachable tomorrow to thank for your hangover.)

But this year is different. I don't resolve to be a new me, I resolve to be a BETTER version of myself right now. And, I encourage you to do the same. Don't change who you are, just be better than who you were yesterday.

God Bless Y'all!
