I’ve enjoyed reading end-of-the-year blogs that summarize 2011 and talk about hopes, resolutions and goals for 2012. In fact, I’ve been inspired to keep a resolution/goal journal to track (and focus on) my progress–or lack thereof.
I know that in all my successes and failures in 2012, I will be inspired by others. So, to kick off 2012, I thought I’d list some of my favorite quotes I’ve been reading in the last few days on Facebook, in books, even iPhone apps. Thanks to my friends who have shared this inspiration. I know I’ll refer back to this list many times throughout 2012.
and not your fears.
to please someone else.

Happy New Year, everyone. If you have pieces of inspiration to carry us into 2012, please share in a comment. I look forward to spending 2012 with you!

I love that quote, ed_quixote!
I don't have a new quote to add to your list but want to say I'd never heard the 'no mud no lotus' one. I think that's my new favorite!My previous favorite had to do with the reason fairy tales exist and dragons but I can't remember it verbatim. See you next year!
I loved "I like to describe myself as delightfully difficult." I think it fits MOI! :-)Happy New Year–"may your moccasins make happy tracks in MANY snows!"
