two thousand and fourteen :)

i hope you all had fabulous new year's celebrations - i spent mine at home with my sister jennifer. 

we ate pizza, drake wine and had a "suits" marathon. 

i had a great time and am now officially hooked on suits - thank you jennifer and netflix.

now, i'm not one for resolutions but i am a strong believer in writing down your goals. 

i read somewhere that those who write down their goals are more likely to achieve them.

i tried out that theory last year and successfully crossed off the vast majority of them off my list. 

so, i'll definitely be doing that again this year. 

last week, i read an article about the importance of writing a personal manifesto.

a manifesto is basically a declaration of ones values, beliefs and intentions. 

typically, you write it out and then post it somewhere where you'll see it often - your bathroom mirror or your phone's background.

however, this article stressed that manifestos are most powerful when presented to someone, as it then becomes a binding agreement between the writer and the universe. 

so, i present to you all my manifesto for 2014:

so, there you have it!

hopefully the universe reads my blog, haha.

but just in case, i printed my manifesto on some colorful cards to post around my house:

have any of you ever written out a personal manifesto?

if yes, i'd love to hear your experiences :)

happy new year, once again - cheers to 2014!
