Here we go again. January 1st and all is fresh


Every January 1st, I feel as if I am standing in front of a refrigerator full of fresh produce, high end gourmet grub and the best wines imaginable! I can have anything I want. Someone pinch me, the future is as bright as a refridgerator lightbulb! Shining on the goodies, illuminating the ingredients, urging me to pick and taste something. yummy!

But here is the hitch... If I don't decide between what I want and what I need, I can end up with a severe case of bloat from over-eating and bang will go the diet I planned on December 31st as I lay on the couch soggy and full from the New Year's eve dinner I had with my family. My will is most sincere on December 31st, and my will is at it's most hopeful on January 1st. Somewhere in between, it goes wrong and downright soft.

2009 - things are going to be different. I swear it here in public! Viola will prevail! Healthy, strong, successful, and ready to climb mountains. Here is the plan for the groovy journey of 2009 and I am sharing it with you. Sure! Go ahead and laugh! I can take the humour. The aim here is to not let "The Imp" shut the door on my public self and give my inner confidence an arse kicking. As long as the door is open and I can see you, and you can see me, we can have an honest 2009 and eat all the goodies in the fridge in moderation. No one wants to be seen cramming grub in their mouths at 2am in the morning and looking like a human smorgasbord, do they???


  1. http://www.gettherevacations.com/. I pledge here that I will make a massive success out of this travel business that I have. I will use it to travel and see the world, earn extra money for my family and help anyone who, like me, wanted to own their own business and gain a little independance.

  2. My health: I spent a week with my sister-in-law, Ananta in Washington State. Ayurvedic life style. This top carnivour is going to cut back on meat and gain balance and harmony from a healthy cooking style

  3. More 5k's. I am going to be 43 January 25th and I must give this one more hurrah. My work outs need me as much as I need them

  4. This Blog: I always wanted to write, now is my big chance!

  5. The Imp. I will tackle the little bastard and put him in his place.....no more whispering negativity, and painting my walls a nasty shade of non-confident blue when my back is turned. We are going to introduce some passionate reds and calming shades of cream to my inner spiritual decor.

My groovy journey starts today and I want you to join me. Please say hi to me as you pass me by. We can even chat for a minute or two.


Right - here we go.......
