"Every time you tear off a leaf off a calendar, you present a new place for new ideas and progress."

- Charles Kettering

• Write more. Write everyday. I'm the worst journal keeper. I have all these notebooks and diaries that have been written on only a few days a year. They're stocked on my shelf, unloved and dusty. But, after being inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic, I want to write more, actually chase those ideas and put pen to paper. I start already and created another tumblr account for short musings (apparentlywhatisaid). Let's write, write, write.
• Learn how to drive. I know, wow! I got into a car accident when I was still learning and I suppose it became such a turnoff. I'm still scared to get behind the wheel, but hey, I'm getting older and it's a very useful skill. With my very busy working schedule, I know I'll have to manage to find a time. Anyone want to volunteer as my instructor? I'll pay in vegan cookies!
• Sponsor a child or donate more to charities. For years, I've wanted to sponsor a child, especially a young girl, but for one reason or another, I never actually did. For 2016, I want to share any way I can. I recognise that I've been very blessed, with two hardworking parents who made sure that my education isn't neglected and who gave me enough freedom to pursue my interests. I want to give a child that same opportunity, no matter how small. 
• Try something new. It could be something small to something life changing. Thus far, I want to try a new vegan recipe every month from cookbooks or vegan blogs and I'll post a review here. Sounds feasible enough. There are still so many experience out there that I haven't tried or that I've already tried and had a faint of heart. I don't know how to skate. I have lived in Canada for 10 years and I'm just helpless. Anyone wants to be my coach? 
• Know my finances well. I mean, I do know my finances, but to be honest, not well enough. I won't give a lot of details here, but I really want to have my eye on my money this year. I save, but I feel like it's not enough. Being an auditor, I should know my cash flows and reconcile. Oy. 
• Be open to new workouts. Comfort is bliss. Even my yoga practice has remained rather stagnant. I run, practice yoga, do the occasional weights. That's about it. I'm so closed-minded about my workouts and it's getting a bit boring (well, except running... I love running!). In 2015, I did get a membership for hot yoga and it was amazing, but with my upcoming schedule, it's not feasible. I do want to try aerial yoga, even just a few classes. Or salsa classes with my two left feet! I'm down. 
• Read more. I love reading. You'll find me with a book during my bus ride to work. I reckon I've read more than 50 titles in 2015, but I want to continue this habit. I want to read more because there are still so many wonderful books out there waiting for me to enjoy. Next on my list is When God Was a Woman by Merlin Stone.
