New Year - 2013 or my 36th on the planet

Today is my birthday and I am turning 36.
I love the fact that as a January baby, I get a few weeks to try out my New Year's goals before my birthday, which I consider my true NEW YEAR.
I really needed those weeks this year to get my stuff in order! Our family spent the first two weeks of 2013 with the flu. You know that epidemic that they keep talking about on the news? It is a doozy and it swept through our house with a vengeance.
Last week was spent trying to dig out from the pile of laundry and dishes that no one else touched while Mom was sick, catching up on homework, e-mails and general stuff that piles up while the house is off-schedule.
So today, my birthday, I am kicking off my NEW YEAR. A friend recently turned me onto an amazing blogger and business woman Leonie Dawson. Her writing style is very uplifting, but at the same time she doesn't pull any punches. I love it! I purchased her workbook and planner for 2013 and have been using it when I have a few minutes over the last few weeks.
I just added my to-do list and some goals for 2013 on this blog (see the tab at the top).
I hope to update each of them as I am able throughout the year!
Happy New Year!
