- To no longer be bound by critical overviews, self-serving perspectives or ego-filled commandments. They are not mine, I shall not harbor or accept them
- To act in the sole interests of safety and well-being for my self, my children and my family and to negate all other efforts of control by parties unaligned to this objective, with the strength of faith over explanation
- To be a seeker of truth and be cognizant that there are times when what I may want may not coincide with what I need – and greater still, that it is not I who is in charge
- To ask for help and be unafraid of receiving it
- To place greater belief in the challenges that are placed before me that they will make me great
- To say “thank you” more than I have expectations
- To lose expectations, or rather, replace them with anticipations and preparations for the glories that will undoubtedly be bestowed upon my life
- To hone my focus on forgiveness
- To pray for contentment over understanding, explanation of, or worry
- To return the smile lines to my face, dirt to my fingers, sunshine to my shoulders, and blue paint to my toenails
- To engage in more random acts of kindness
- To journal and pen letters more than I document wrong-doings
- To dissolve anger, hatred, and jealousy to the grit of sandy beaches – that it will be washed away not by me, but by time and the act of being forgiven
- Above all, I resolve to accept that where I now stand, what air I now breathe, and the placement that I now exist in is precisely where I am supposed to be
Signed, this 24th day of December, 2010 with much Faith, determination and God as my witness,
