Cheers to 2014!

by 63 Comments

Hi Friends!

Happy 2014. I’ve been sitting here forever trying to decide what to post today. Judging by the state of the blogosphere the past few days, it appears I’m pretty much the only one not interested in doing a recap of 2013 or posting about my goals for 2014. And that’s totally fine! Instead, I decided to share some 2014 wishes that I have for all of you! Kinda like a 5 things Friday (a la Clare)- except it’s not Friday….you get the idea.

Anyways, here we go- my 2014 wishes for you!

  22. Aww lovely little post! All realistic, and all challenging! The going for a PR one stands out to me, as I feel that it is important not to be afraid of failure. That is how I have achieved some of my best results, so you may not fail….but as long as you are prepared to overcome it if you do! Hope 2014 is your best yet!

  25. I thought I would want to recap 2013, or even the holidays, but didn’t, and sort of focused my most recent posts elsewhere too, similarly! I love this idea and love your wishes for living and loving the most – but love them all 🙂 Cheers 2014!

  26. Warm fuzzies! I love the Go for a PR and FAIL. I use to tell the CF ladies that I wanted them to fail a lift (safely of course). Many of us only attempt what we know we can accomplish. Where is the fun in that?

    Happy new year!

  30. These are so sweet and wonderful. It means a lot that you would take the time to think about ways for all of your readers to be happier and healthier in the new year. It makes me feel special, somehow. Here’s to a 2014 full of trying new things, failing a few times, and making small changes to be healthy. Can’t wait to see where the year takes you!

  43. I love these wishes Lindsay. Such a great way to think about the New Year. I had to chuckle when I saw your one about spices. I was just talking to my husband about that and how we’ve had some spices since our wedding 10 years ago! YUCK!
