I resolve to...

 ...what? 

Part 1 - Tell us what your plans for improvement are this year.

For some practicing more faith is a top priority in 2010. Which one attribute of the Savior would I like to emulate the most, that would have the greatest positive impact in my life?

For some it is a hot topic for much reflection.

Should you set a goal or a resolution? Which is better?

Does it really matter that you keep your resolutions? Turns out it does.

Be specific, write it down, review it often. These along with 9 other tips can help you stick to your resolutions.

Mine tend to remain the same from year to year...more sincere prayers uttered more often, to be more authentic, to practice more faith, hope, and charity.

Feel free to share a couple of yours in the comments below or e-mail me with a longer write-up.

Part 2 - “I resolve to write more”

I challenge you to resolve to do more writing in the new year. You are invited to write as a guest blogger for our blog!

This year I'm trying something different for our guest bloggers...assigned topics for each month. Choose from this month's topics:

- What are your 2010 New Year's resolutions? [telling us may help you keep them!]

- What are you proud of for 2009? Tell about your successes at meeting a goal or keeping a resolution.

- Tell about a New Year's resolution you didn't keep and why. We could all be instructed.

This could be a good way to record some stories for your personal history, so set a goal to meet my challenge.

Funny, serious, lighthearted or spiritual...I'll take them all. Also, if you have a photo or a photo essay to accompany your posting, please send that too.

Happy writing! and Happy Resolution Making!
