New Year's Resolutions Are Bound To Fail. Try This Instead
Huffington Post - When it comes to setting New Year’s resolutions, most people shoot for the moon. We tell ourselves that this will be the year we’ll give up carbs, go running every morning, become a vegan or quit drinking.
Inevitably, three weeks later, we find ourselves right back where we started. What gives? When it comes to health goals in particular, all-or-nothing goals ― which are usually based on unrealistic expectations and don’t leave any wiggle room ― are a setup for failure. Only 8 percent of people actually keep their New Year’s resolutions, according to one commonly cited statistic. There are many reasons people can’t stick to their resolutions, from setting too many of them to getting derailed by small failures. Setting overly ambitious and restrictive goals ― like quitting sugar when you haven’t already been making small changes to improve your diet ― is one major cause of failure. While you might initially feel inspired and energized by setting blowout goals for 2017, the luster of these resolutions fades quickly when we realize how difficult they are to keep. Small, incremental lifestyle changes may feel less sexy, but they have a much greater chance of creating real change. According to Dr. Roberta Anding, a registered dietician and nutrition professor at Baylor College of Medicine, moderating your resolutions could be the difference between giving up in February and creating a lasting lifestyle change. When resolutions are too ambitious, we struggle to change our habits, become discouraged when we fail and ultimately give up altogether. So instead of making hard-line resolutions this year, Anding suggests increasing your chances for long-term success by approaching your health goals as a “reset.” January 1 signifies a new beginning. However, each day allows for a new beginning, and hence it is a reset. Dr. Roberta Anding, Baylor College of MedicineWhat’s the difference? While a resolution represents a firm decision to do or not do something, a reset is an opportunity to “set again,” or set your habits differently. With a reset, you commit to moderate, realistic goals and making small changes every day ― not just on Jan. 1. A reset also allows for flexibility as you progress and figure out what does and doesn’t work for you. “Resolving not to eat something anymore, such as pasta, may not be the most practical goal,” Anding told The Huffington Post in an email. “A reset allows for a plan B, and the thought is that you set goals that are doable for you, your family and your circumstances.” Say you’re thinking about giving up red meat as your resolution for 2017. Taking Anding’s approach, you might decide to only indulge in a burger once a week, or cut your meat portion sizes in half and add more vegetables to your plate instead. “You can have a favorite food, but the portion size is the key,” Anding added. “It allows for social situations, eating out with your boss and family parties.” Another disadvantage of resolutions is that they typically have a clear start date, like Jan. 1, which tricks your brain into thinking that they have an end date, too. A reset, on the other hand, is about creating healthy habits for the long term. “January 1 signifies a new beginning. However, each day allows for a new beginning, and hence it is a reset,” Anding said. “If your goal is eating more fruits and vegetables, you can reset this goal every day. If you didn’t achieve this goal, you can re-evaluate every day.” But being realistic doesn’t have to mean compromising on your goals. If your “resets” are successful, you can work up to eliminating a certain food completely or making a new habit an everyday one. Whatever you decide to commit to, the important thing is to use the energy of the new year as an opportunity to make important changes for your health. “When setting goals for a new year, make them health-related,” Anding said. “This is your most important 401K: investing in your body and your sense of well-being.” If you need a little inspiration, check out our list of 50 healthy New Year’s resolutions that don’t involve losing weight.

Book review.....
Whistling Past the Graveyard by Susan Crandall Review by Judy Piper(Blue Mt. Community Library) Take a nine-year-old girl who runs away from home and a black woman with a white baby, place them in the summer of 1963 in Mississippi, and you have the beginnings of a good story. Starla is angry with her grandmother for grounding her during the Fourth of July celebration and decides she would be better off with her mother. Starla’s father works on an oil rig while her mother is trying to become a singing star in Nashville. As she walks along the road, Eula stops to pick her up. Eula has just picked up a white baby that was dropped off at a church. When they reach Eula’s home, they discover that her husband is not happy with the situation. Now they both must survive his actions. As they make their way to Nashville, Starla becomes aware of the racial tensions and racial injustice she encounters. She has to confront what she had thought to be true not only about blacks but also about her Looking Back...... January 2013
Drifts like this are likely to be common in the Slate Belt as drifting and blowing snow is widespread in the wake of a 6.5 inch snowstorm that hit the area January 3.
Can You Believe It?Jogger rescued 19 puppies abandoned in a box in Michigan
PLYMOUTH , Mich., Dec. 30 (UPI) -- A woman in Michigan discovered a box full of 19 puppies while out for a jog in a park.
Julie Newman found the open urine-soaked box filled with 4-week old puppies underneath a tree approximately three feet away from the jogging path in Hines Park in the city of Plymouth at around 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning, according to the Humane Society of Huron Valley. "I could hear little yelps," she said. "And then I saw a box that was moving." Newman, who owns two rescue dogs herself, called her sister to help her bring the puppies to the humane society. "I'm just heartbroken," Newman said. "I just don't understand how anyone could do this." The nine male and 10 female puppies, believed to be pit bull terrier mixed breed, received medical care upon arriving at the humane society and will be available for adoption once their treatment is completed. The Humane Society of Huron Valley is seeking information about the person who abandoned the puppies. "It's hard to say why someone would dump puppies in a park. But there is no good reason for such a careless act. This is exactly why animal shelters exist -- to provide safety and care to animals in need," HSHV CEO Tanya Hilgendorf said. "We don't ever want to see animals, especially babies, abandoned in the cold, left to fend for themselves. Thanks to a compassionate community member willing to take action, these innocent puppies will get the help they deserve. When they're ready, they'll be adopted into loving homes -- but first spayed or neutered to help ensure this doesn't happen again."
Life Style.....Tips for achieving better tech-life balance
(BPT) - Is your device your vice? Americans think they are able to easily balance their technology use with their regular activities, but when the numbers are crunched, perception doesn’t match up with reality.
One in four Americans report they get stressed out when they’re away from their email or phone for longer than 30 minutes, according to a survey conducted by GMI and commissioned by Crucial.com. And 84 percent of male respondents admitted to checking a mobile device while driving, in a movie theater, at a funeral or at a child’s play or recital. Technology overuse is making many Americans feel guilty about the amount of time they spend digitally connected. Life balance expert, Mary LoVerde, author of “Stop Screaming at the Microwave” and “I Used To Have A Handle On Life But It Broke,” provides the following tips on how you can reconnect with your friends and family, and help balance your use of technology. 1. Establish personal tech-life balance policies. Take a look at what you value and set some policies to help you stay connected to what’s most important. For example, everyone values family time, but it is not always prioritized. You might make a family policy that limits technology at the dinner table, after 9 p.m. or while your children complete their homework. Maybe you and your partner agree to shut off technology for an hour before bed to give attention to each other. You no doubt value your safety and the safety of those around you. So make a strict policy that texting and driving is an unacceptable practice, and then stick to it. Announce to others out loud what your policies are. A clear and public declaration can lead to peer pressure, which can help ensure that you stay true to your promises. 2. Maximize your devices' efficiency. Waiting for programs to load can be a frustrating time-waster so make your devices as user-friendly as possible. The speed and amount of memory you've got installed helps determine how fast applications are able to operate. Upgrading your system's memory and software and closing the apps you are not using are simple low-cost ways to help your technology help you. 3. Pick sleep over technology. Checking Instagram, e-mail, or LinkedIn cannot compete with the benefit of a half hour more sleep each night. In many ways, your brain is a computer, too. At night this neurological PC repairs genes, secretes many regulatory hormones (including the one that makes you lose weight), conjures up the necessary dreams that keep you sane and stores information you learned that day - to note just a few of the many things it does to reset your body. Given the choice between technology and sleep, opt to get some more shuteye. 4. Look up. Seriously, every once in a while just look up and see what is going on in the real world all around you. Make eye contact. Smile at someone. Breathe deeply. Pay attention to the world. There is magic out there that you are missing. 5. Stop taking yourself so seriously. We need to understand that when we let go of some of our technology, other ideas will come into clearer focus. We have to believe that Chicken Little’s sky will not fall if we log off for an hour. If we miss a selfie, a posting, or a call, the planets will remain in orbit and in the meantime, if we are lucky, we will have reconnected with our humanness in a meaningful way. Finance....Five ways to make any purchase a smart purchase
5 BPT) - You work hard for your money and the last thing you want to do is waste it by buying the wrong product or investing in something of poor quality. So how do you know which product is the best? There is no definitive answer, of course, and marketing campaigns can be misleading. If you adhere to the steps below, however, you’ll find you’ll be generally happy with your purchases in the long run.
* Seek out reviews. If you have questions about whether a certain product is worthy of your money, see what others think of it. The Web is full of customer reviews, so head online to see what others are saying. Keep in mind that people are more likely to post a poor review than a positive one, but if the numbers are too heavily slanted toward the negative, you may want to research other options for your purchase. * Look to trusted brands. You routinely put your trust in certain brands, so why not look to see if those brands are responsible for any other products as well. Michelin, for example, has been a leader in the passenger, truck, and agricultural tire industry for more than a century. In addition, Michelin Lifestyle Limited has also been involved in the development of Babolat tennis shoes, heavy industrial boots, hybrid and traditional wipers with advanced rubber compounding, composite snow chains, floor and cargo mats and tire gauges. Many other companies like Michelin license products that meet their rigid standards for quality and performance. So if you have trusted the products made by a certain brand in the past, look for other products that bear its name. Chances are they will live up to your standards as well. * Look for recalls. No one wants to buy a product just to return it immediately because of poor construction or safety concerns. Before you buy a product, search the product’s name to see if it is has been involved in any recalls. You may save yourself the time of having to return it later. * Consider additional expenses. Sometimes the initial sticker price doesn’t tell the whole story. What costs are associated with maintaining, operating or using the product now and in the future? If you aren’t prepared for all the expenses that come with a given purchase, you may regret having purchased it in the end. * Try one out. This may not be possible in many cases, but if you have the opportunity to try a product on a trial basis, don’t pass it up. Take that car for a test drive, walk around the store in those new boots or ask a friend if you can borrow that power tool. While it may not always be possible, experiencing the product firsthand is a great way to determine if you’ll want to purchase your own. Making a smart purchase can be a daunting task, especially if buying the item is going to require a large amount of money. Your best bet to make a successful buy is to do your homework ahead of time and do not pass on the opportunity to test it out before you actually buy it.

Of course, there is play time for the 'inner child' to create and express herself with our craft time!

Then let off 'steam' from all that fire work with a pulsating drumming circle! Gift yourself with the richly rewarding and fulfilling retreat experience, whether it be just one day or the whole weekend. It promises to be one of joy, growth, new friends, self-discovery and empowerment - doing 'inner work' has never been so rewarding! We look forward to 'connecting' with all our Sistars!
