My New Year's resolutions

I've never believed in making resolutions for the new year, but for no good reason, I've decided to do so this year.

In 2011, I resolve...

...to talk less and listen more--and better.

...to stop pushing people around me to go on the paths I want. I will offer, but they will choose, and that has to be enough for me.

...to write more and more intensely.

...to lose at least 25 pounds--far, far less than I need to lose, but at least a start.


It's a short list, but it's already probably more than I can manage, so I'll stick with it.

I hope 2011 brings you joy and prosperity and love and magic.

As a fan of your writing, I especially like the resolution to write more intensely. That is good for all your readers! Also, everyone should have a little magic and lots of love in their lives. What a nice sentiment. Happy New Year to you as well.

Thanks for the kind words.

If you're serious about that last, you might pick up _The 4-Hour Body_; recently published and it's interesting to say the least.
