Intentions for this and future years

Here are some suggestions for shaping the times ahead:
To laugh often and much; 
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; 
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; 
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; 
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; 
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. 
This is to have succeeded.
 -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Leaving the world (including interior spaces) better than I found it, through enlightened education and loving practices is what I aspire to.
The blogs are tips to help improve my life….. maybe there’s something here for you too?
I wish you a safe, healthy and happy year ahead.
Kind regards,
Betty
