I DO have the BEST intentions, but the follow through is lacking.
My 52 new things in 2010 was modeled on some of my local Birmingham girls idea — I loved it and ran with it….
for about two weeks and then I dropped it like a cheating boyfriend.
I’m trying to make it back… but I’m struggling.
I did drink Starbucks in the Bahamas a few weeks ago… sweet, but not the point of the 52 NEW things.
I want to SHARE new with you. Here is my goal (and isn’t it great to have goals):
To catch up with a post filled with NEW THINGS. When will that happen? Well, let’s not get all hasty. I like to think of this as an organic process. Okay, in all honesty, I don’t think anyone is interested in my new earrings (zebra and cute), my pink carryon way atop a shelf at Factory Connection, and my new purple scarf.
I want to share something new that is different, unique, and offers something to my readers… all 6 of you.
I’m gathering up my all new stuff –okay, I have ONE thing, but I’ve put it in a …. no I haven’t. It’s in my makeup bag in the bathroom. I’m thinking about gathering up some new things.
Until then check out these chicks who are ROCKING the new things
Trina (who I think of every single time I see a peacock anything)
Brandi (who is my Charming Charlie loving pal with an incredible sense of humor)
Later …. off to find some more new things or really just play on Facebook.
Here it is, week two of the 52 New Things and I have another NEW thing. Wonderful how this is working out. Don’t get all excited because I’m sure I’ll hit a point where I’ll just where weird lipstick or drive home with my foot hanging out of the window or something equally lame to have a NEW thing for that week.
But for now, I have a very cool NEW thing.
I have a NEW job — I’m working with Premier Christian Cruises as the new Group Leader Coordinator. Now, you wonder, just what is this group leader coordinator? I encourage people who are putting together groups and I support people who wish to cruise for free.
I’m doing a whole separate post about the Free Cruise program, but for this post I want to stick with the NEW thing.
Along with working with people via phone & the wonderful web, I will be on the cruises. I am just as shocked as you!
I’m still pinching myself. Who am I, that the Lord would allow me to do such incredible work for such a wonderful group.
So there you have it — New Thing #2 — new job as a cruise group leader coordinator.
So here we are … Number 1 new thing of 2o1o!
I am thrilled to share my 1st new thing — it’s a gIRL(tm)!
My first NEW THING of 2010 is the ministry gIRL ™ - girlfriends In Real Life: Meeting God together on the other side of the screen.
This New Thing, gIRL ™ was birthed out of my friendship with Melinda and our love of all things social media.
You can read all about gIRL(tm) right here.
I’m so EXCITED about this incredible opportunity and I’m humbled that the Lord called me to this work and blessed me so abundantly.
I would LOVE to hear what you did this week… any New Things?

I don’t like New Year’s Resolutions — because it usually means I have to give up something and it’s not something I don’t like. It’s usually something good like chocolate or butter — I love both of these. I don’t want to resolve anything that requires I give up either
I’ve decided to try something new in 2010 (and I heard it first from BirminghamBargain Mom). So, here is my FIRST series blog:
52 New Things in 2010
I love the idea of trying new things. I’m in the midst of a NEW THING in my life so more new things seem appropriate.
I love new recipes, new books, new lipstick, new Post-its, new vacation spots, new roads, new friends… I think you get the idea.
Here’s the plan — I will try something NEW each week beginning with the first full week of the year and continue it for the following 51 weeks in 2010.
I will post my new thing on the following Monday. I’ll share what I tried and what I thought about it. My first New Thing post will be up January 11, 2010
What will I try? Who knows. I hope to experience some exciting new stuff this year. My first NEW THING is gIRL! You can read all about it here.
If you want to come along for the ride — please do and share your new things with me (and the 8 people who read my blog).
For the first time…. EVER, I’m looking forward to a New Year’s resolution.
