2012 New Years Resolutions.............

Let's start the new year off by being thankful for all the good we see in ourselves, rather than the things we want to change.  I encourage everyone to write a list, no matter how long or short, of all the good qualities you possess and all the things that make you....you.  Then make all the new years resolutions you want after that and really stick to them.

 Hmmmmm, a friend once told me, "We Virgo's need love, depriving us of love, is like depriving a flower of sunlight"  and she is so right.  It's amazing how like a Virgo and a Horse (Chinese astrology) I really am.   Here's what I'm like in it's entirety.

Amber is......................

A mother and a father, Color coordinated closets, sensitive, anxious, always at least 15 minutes early, stubborn as all hell, love's purple, loves the outdoors, believes being in the ocean will cure any and all unhappiness, Love's every kind of music, a singer and songwriter, easily excitable, you wouldn't believe all the little things that I can get overly excited about, especially useless knowledge.  Extroverted (maybe a little introverted since September 2009), trustworthy, loyal, open-minded, enjoy being alone at times, independent, procrastinator, outgoing, loving, love's making new friends, impatient, absolutely no tolerance for mean people and gossiping, able to see beauty in everything and every person (there is no such thing as ugly, every person is beautiful), jealous at times, love doing volunteer and charity work, a lover of all animals, hate's spiders, no allergies, believes in magic, fate, soul mates, and real love.  Love's to read, love's to get caught up in the books and story lines, love's movies, friends, eating out, laughing, is very forgiving, never holds a grudge and most of all, Amber is very very hopeful.
