CLEAN!
Clean? What does that even mean in regards to my resolutions you wonder? Well a lot of things really. This year I want to clean up my act in a lot of ways:
I need to clean up around my house.
Well, this one seems like an obvious one, right? Things have started to get a little out of hand as I've lost my focus on cleaning and organizing around here lately. I intend to get things back under control. It makes me happy, my family happy, and my house happy when it's clean and organized around here!
I want to clean up my diet even more.
I'm already pretty good about not eating a ton of processed foods and getting rid of processed sugars from my diet but I'm ready to take it up a notch. Now I'm getting serious about how my meat is raised. I want grass fed, free range, happy animals that got to live the life they were supposed to live rather than pumped full of steroids and growth hormones and bla, bla, bla! I also want to get rid of the amount of my exposure to pesticides on fruits and veggies. I also really want to start making my own sourdough breads and get more of the good bugs into my diet through homemade yogurts and kefirs.
Clean up my style
This means further refining my style to more accurately reflect who I am inside. I feel like I made some huge leaps in this area this last year but there is still more I can do and learn. A few of the items I would really like to do is to keep editing and upgrading my wardrobe, find an awesome pair of jeans and to play with scarves more to name a few things.
Cleaning up my spirit.
Aww! David Archuleta is such a cutie {with a dreamy voice}! And I'm a sucker for a good song and this one illustrates this aspect of my goals perfectly! This is an ongoing goal as I try more and more to become more Christlike.
So there you have it! Some of my goals for 2012. How about you? Do you make resolutions? Care to share any of yours?

Love!! You always inspire me!
ReplyDeleteAww! You are so sweet Anne! You inspire me as well! I'm so glad to count you as a friend! Mwah!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for an awesome pair of jeans, too! Let's hope we both find a pair.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of clean as a single word to mean so many different things and encompassing all areas of our lives. You've given me something to think on today :)

B.!!! I cannot think of an outfit you've worn that I have liked more. You look absolutely smashingly fabulistic in that combo. In other words, it is awesomesauce.
ReplyDeleteGreat resolutions, too! I am still pondering mine, and feeling a little under-the-gun about it, but I also want my eating and my lifestyle to become healthier. So there's one. :)
Adrienne, this is the year for some awesome jeans ~ I can feel it! :D Glad I gave you something to think about! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks Jeanine! At first I wasn't sure what outfit you were talking about because I forgot I even put one up on this post! LOL! I have received a ton of compliments on that outfit! It sure is bright and cheery isn't it? I love it!
ReplyDeleteI say healthy is a great goal! Go you! Have a wonderful New Year!!
I like clean: inside and outside. I have had big stretches this past year where I felt clean and it is such a great feeling. It's a delicious emptiness in a good way. My goal is to stay clean when everyone else is getting dirty.
ReplyDeleteClean really is a great feeling! I like how you described it Rebekah! Here's to being and staying clean! :)
