Happy New Year from Louisiana!

What a way to end the year and ring in the new one. Movie and Dinner last night. Mass and breakfast this morning!

 I have met so many wonderful and influential people who I love and admire throughout my 20 years of life.  2012 is the year I will never forget. This was the year I began a new journey with my faith.  This was the year I began an endeavor with a volunteer mission. Today, however, begins a new way of life. One filled with happiness, joy, but most importantly, LOVE

" As a Christian and a woman, it is important to model a godly attitude at all times. Even a small look or smile can help show others the love of God."

I read that in a small book of encouragement a few days ago. I had been starting to think about new year resolutions and what it was that I wanted to do for this new year. I had remembered that back in late 2011, I began sending Monday Good Morning Messages to everyone on my contact list. As the year went on, I realized some people stopped caring. Some even told me it had become so routine that they knew it was coming and so they stopped reading them and just deleted them. There was always at least one person though, who would say "Thank you" or "I needed that today, thanks", and that in turn would put a smile on my face.  

So this year, I want to resolve to put a smile an another persons face, so as to show them the love of God through me, in this way, my future, starts now.
