New Year, New Me!

This year I had decided to make slow changes in my life for betterment.  I loaded myself up with organizational and self-improvement books before the new year.  Each day I read something from each.  The month of January my task was to start organizing, or simplifying, and drink water.  Of course, there were other things like exercise, diet, and meditation; however, I decided to take it slow this year.  Not over-burden myself with too many changes at once.  In the month of January, I made it a habit to fill a bottle of water every morning, and bring it to my desk while working.  My goal was to drink at least one bottle of water per day.  Something I NEVER do.  It is amazing how after one month of making a habit....actually has become a habit.  It is now automatic for me to fill the water bottle and bring it with me everywhere.  Just like making my morning coffee.

Results from my new habit -- better looking skin and finally feeling hydrated!  My nails are even starting to grow again.  Meditation is on the agenda for February, and sadly, I have not had one moment of silent time to begin making this a new habit.  Hopefully, I can sneak some time in later this afternoon.

World Water Day

One of my favorite brands, Starbucks, has teamed with other brands as a sponsor in World Water Day this March.

"In 1992, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly passed a resolution designating March 22 of each year as an international day of observance and action to draw attention to the plight of the more than 1 billion people world wide that lack access to clean, safe drinking water. With each passing year, the observance has grown larger and stronger."

"This year, Ethos Water, Starbucks and leading NGOs are working to bring even greater attention to the world water crisis on World Water Day. With events planned in 26 cities in North America, World Water Day 2007 will be among the largest organized observances of World Water Day ever."

Not close to a walk site? You can sign up to do a virtual water walk and your ticket will be carried by someone during one of the walks.
