It's a fresh calendar year. What kind of choices are you going to make for the next twelve months? If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, so now's the time to think about intentional choices for 2017. Here are some questions to ask yourself . . .

Will you:

- take tangible steps to pursue one of your dreams?

- make time to do what's important to you?

- mentor someone who's lagging behind you on the artistic journey?

- show gratitude to others via email or snail mail or text?

- put good things into your body, be it in your mouth, eyes or ears?

Or will you not?

Resolutions are controversial. Thinking about how you want to spend your time isn't. We're only allotted so many breaths, and no one knows exactly how many. Make each one count.
