I've always been one to make some sort of resolution for the New Year, and it usually lasts about 2 weeks. I'm also one to try to give up something for lent, but then about 2 weeks in I realize I'm not Catholic so I really don't have to do it. I hate looking back on this and knowing that I haven't been able to get through these things, due to my own mental weakness. But I truly am a firm believer that anything and anyone can change.

So, I decided that I am going to try really hard to make a change this year - I am putting my resolutions out there and I am going to make a conscious effort at these...
