I usually don’t make New Year’s resolutions, but this year I thought about them in a different way. I hope this makes 2012 a better year for you and those around you.

                MAKE A RESOLUTION YOU CAN KEEP
                                  “Be Different this Year”

 1.  Start the New Year Fresh-

 2.  Before tossing those old things to the curb, donate them to one of your local resale shops.  This way the stuff is out of your way and into the hands of someone who can get some more mileage out of it.

 3.  When making gifts for someone you love, remember to make something for someone you’ve never met as well.

 4.  Get inspired this year by subscribing to a new publication.

 5.  Take a class in something you know nothing about.  You’ll learn a new skill and meet some new people.

 6.  Call and reconnect with a friend you have not seen in awhile.

 7.  Take advantage of your limited spare time.  Have your “want to do” projects organized and ready to work on when you are available to work on them.

 8.  Start writing that book you’ve always wanted to write about all the funny stuff your kids and grandkids have done.

 9.  Visit that local museum or park you’ve wanted to see.  Why wait for a reason to do it.

 10. Be a little nicer to yourself this year.

 11.  Take time for yourself.

 12.  Remember celebrations don’t have to be big and elaborate.  A small box of chocolates and a cup of coffee with a good friend is something to celebrate.

Feel free to add to my list and share them with us if you are so inclined. 

Truffle Thursday:  Have your friends sign up for Truffle Thursday and win a box of 2 of our delicious truffles.  

New Flavors:  We will be coming out with some new flavors and some different creations in 2012. We will keep you posted. 

I will be posting my demonstration schedule soon.  I will be at different AJ's Markets throughout January.  As soon as I have all the information I will pass that along to you.  If you are around drop in and say hi and have a taste of my truffles. 

Have a great week everyone,
Fondly,
Ellie
