“Another fresh new year is here . . . Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!" William Arthur Ward
Happy New Year and Hurray for 2014! I watched the ball drop at Times Square and the first thought that crossed my mind was "Thank God for a New Day of goals, dreams and blessings!" After the challenges of 2013, I'm ready for positive change in 2014. What about you? Are you ready for 2014? What will you do differently this year? What will remain the same? Some of the blogging opportunities I'll be involved in are: NaBloPoMo and Zero to Hero. To stay focused in 2014, I've put together a short list of 8 goals to keep me on track. You are welcome to use them and offer some of yours in my comments section.
List of 10 Good Luck Foods to Eat on New Year's Day (catch up w/in the week too)
• Black eyed beans and/or Lentils for prosperity
• Buttered bread for nourishment (Ireland)
• 12 Grapes/Raisins before midnight (New Year’s Eve) for great fortune (Spain)
• Greens like Spinach, Kale, Collards remind us of green money and health and drive away evil spirits
• Pork as a way to stay focused in moving forward with our goals and desires.
• Long Noodles offers longevity and eating an unbroken long noodle is extra luck. (Asia)
• Cornbread – the sweet, sunny, yellow, satisfying food augurs prosperity on all fronts.
• Round Foods – desserts, citrus fruits, wave off the old and welcome the new into our sunny lives
• Whole Fish on New Year’s Day is a sign of great prosperity. Fish is a prosperous symbol in Asia
• Chocolate is always great as a digestive and a luxury treat signifying a year of pampering. ;-)
