Actually yesterday was my birthday and it was great to get all the birthday wishes.

One of the “marketing” emails I received contained a great quote, so I’m sharing it with you today.

Don’t just count your years, make your years count. – Ernest Meyers

I’ve made several resolutions for this year and I mean birthday to birthday, not calendar year.

First, I’ve promised not to buy any books this year. While it may seem counterintuitive, I’ve realized that this year is about meditating and writing and not so much about reading. I didn’t say I wouldn’t read, just that I wouldn’t add to my collection. Maybe I’m thinking of it as a catch-up year – I’ll read the books I already have. If I just have to read something I’ll borrow it from the library.

Second, I’ve promised to write here every day whether anyone comes to visit and read or not. If my goal is to be a writer of essays and a coach, then I simply have to write (and coach).

My goal for making this year count is to help more people in a bigger way than I have in the past. The path is unseen today. But I am walking it in faith.
