My One Intention This New Year

Last year around New Year's, my kids and I stood around a fire. One by one, we threw into the fire what we wanted to burn from the past year. We also voiced our intentions for our lives moving forward.

We did it again this year, but this time, I had just one intention that I wanted to set. That was to live and lead from a place of love. That's it. Every other intention I've made in the past pales in comparison.

Trust me, leading from a place of love is going to be way harder than losing 10 pounds (which can be done, but it always comes back — at least for me). It's going to be way harder than silencing the critical voice in my head (although I did make progress on that last year, so I'm proud of myself for that). It's also going to be way harder than giving up sugar (well, that is pretty hard, so maybe I'll save that one for Lent).
