Starting New in 2009
New year, new you? Maybe not an entirely new you. Maybe just enough "new" to make the "old" more lovable, successful, or just plain fun.
Let's share the journey. Help us create a list of the best books to help you reach your goals and support your New Year's Resolutions. Help me build a list of the 25 best books for the new year, by adding your suggestions to the 10 below.
Second, let's build a list of the top web sites that are in sync with our New Year's Resolutions. I have three areas broken down for resolution resources: Health & Fitness, Career & Money, and Home & Relationships. Add your favorite links to each category, or rate links already there.
Finally, share your new year's resolutions for 2009 to support those with similar goals, and share your successes and not-so-successes with resolutions in previous years.
Credit and thanks goes to Anne Easterling, who gave this lens its start before I swooped in and "adopted" it. If you have suggestions for improving this lens, please contact me or leave a comment below.
