"Try this...

There is a recipe I want to try, i need to keep track of it:

ideas i want to keep track of:

1. Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts. Aristotle

2. First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. Epictetus

3. Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement. Alfred Adler

4. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Helen Keller

5. Long have you timidly waded holding a plank by the shore,
Now I will you to be a bold swimmer,
To jump off in the midst of the sea, rise again, nod to me, shout,
and laughingly dash with your hair. Walt Whitman

6. How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.
Annie Dillard

7. Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? Mary Oliver

Once again, I appear randomly.

Its a new year! I could have a resolution to blog more, but I think that might not work. I need a place to vent, to let stuff out, though. I need a place to just say random stuff, to leave ideas, to have thoughts floating around that I can catch sometimes. So...here I go again.
As we all know by now, I am vegan, and have been since June. That "diet" could be tricky. There are lots of processed items, like OREOS that are technically vegan...but you don't really think about it unless someone tells you or you find out some other way. So just being vegan doesn't mean you eat healthier or you lose weight, it just means that you don't eat any animal stuffs. Agh.

My resolutions for the new year....
-keep up a healthy lifestyle. don't eat all those desserts and treats, and things that I think I need but I know my body doesn't need
-have better control over myself. i need to be able to accomplish all tasks on time, without making up reasons for NOT doing it.
-exercise...this also goes along with the first two. the control over my actions, attitude and lifestyle will make it easier to exercise.
-graduate, finally. i'm getting there!
-work harder to create more interest and success in my businesses.
