New Year Resolutions!!
Raise your hand if you've had a crazy year with lots of changes--good, bad, or otherwise. OK! Just as I thought; we're all in this together.
"Five Ways to Welcome Change in the New Year" Happy New Year!
1. Make time for change, than Jump right into it.
2. Become a grateful person for change.
3. When change is the "thing" to do, than do it.
4. Encourage someone when you feel like no one encourages you,
it has a changing effect.
5. The biggest change is to reinvent yourself nothing is predictable, easy or always peaceful, leave behind a fearful heart and ask what makes you come alive and go do it.
"Inspiring change"
To all my blogging friends who have shared another year inspiring one another in countless hours of friendship, encouragement and inspiration deeply influenced by each and everyone of you, Bonne Année (French New Year)...Good Health, Good Year!

À toi aussi mon amie...
What a lovely year it has been Doré, having learned from each other, helping one another. That is what life is TO ME. CHANGE is most definitely on the horizon, it always is. But it takes courage to go with the ebb and flow, doesn't it dearest? THANK YOU, MERCI BIEN for all of your words and advice and I wish YOU a prosperous new year!
Anita
I'm fired up and ready to go. Bring on 2012!!!
Happy New Year Dore'!

Yes my year has been full of crazy goodness, and I have become very good at reinventing myself. I wanted to send you my burlap garland from my giveaway. It just seems fitting that Burlap Luxe should have burlap garland. Contact me and I'll sent it right out. Have a blessed New Year, Cindy
Loved #5, Dore about reinventing yourself. My hand is raised with all the rest. Looking forward to another great blogging year!

My darling one,
I means THE WORLD TO ME that you enjoyed my post. If you are interested in a gray bird, I can look for the gray paper. Where I get my paper, there are so many fabulous colors. What a magnificent idea! And it would be lightly glittered in platinum...ahhhhhhh.....theatres, birds, what more could we ask for? The possibilities are endless. How are you? Did you have a great New Years? I have been enjoying working in my studio. So fun to be off from work and all the stress.
Sending you wishes for a creative and wonderful week. Talk soon, Anita
I am ready to embrace change Dore ~ it's time!
Wishing you peace, love and happiness, you deserve it all!!
Dore, Happy New Year! Love your resolutions They are soooo true! embrace the change..join it..don't fight it...because its usually there to teach you something!!!! Blessing to you my friend for the New Year!!!! xoxo Marlene

Wishing my two beauties a Happy New Year filled with happiness!! I hope you got my email about the movie with the exact gorgeous hourglass!!!
Okay, so I have to tell you that 2011 was one crazy year--so, my hand was definitely up when you asked that question...But, now with the new books becoming bestsellers, I am totally excited and can always remember that they came out at the end of that year that was so filled with drama...Okay, I admit it, I am not sure that my life has ever been drama-free. lol
Happy Drama-Free 2012!!!!
Love,
Cindy
P.S. For the last week, for some reason, I keep thinking about the movie, Eat Pray Love--she found balance...and that is my word for 2012.
Great list........Have you any suggestions for how to maintain one's commitment to change?
Warm regards
Happy New Year and thank you for such a wonderful post. As one of your new followers, I'm looking forward to 2012 and the inspiration you share with everyone!
Blessings to you and your family.
Dore, I missed this post! Thank you for coming by and leaving me a 'letter' comment on my Seawashed blog. What delight it brought me this morning. I just want you to know that you never need apologize for not writing back. I am a letter writer...it comes easy for me. I know this is not so for most people. I send letters because I like to. Most people like to chat on the phone(or nowadays text)...not me. I've never been a phone person. Your comment was a letter to me. ox love you girlie! our hearts are flowing in the same current of the pacific sea. like mermaids we move through the depths together. ox Kerrie
I noticed your comment above from Atelier de Campagne...guess what? they are going to be at the Antique Fair in Sacramento this Sunday. I'm planning on going!
Dear Dore, great advise! Numbers two, four, and five , have had a wonderful influence on my own life this past year. I have met so many wonderful, creative people, and truly feel welcomed and encouraged by my fellow artisans. I feel I have found my true calling, my spirit soars when I am around inspiring people like you! Here's to a wonderful 2012, I am so looking forward to seeing what your beautiful mind will create, and captivate us with! Love, and Blessings my friend, Christel
Happiest New Year to you too! I just love your thoughts...so much so I featured them at our blog.
Paula
Thank you, Dore! Happy New Year to you, too. So far, 2012 has started out very challenging for me...so I'm open for change, yes! The best thing that happened for me in 2011 was starting my blog and meeting SO many wonderful people through it, such as you! So, here's to more blogging in the new year!
Hugs, Cindy
