Weekly Wishes

You guys may not know her, and if you don't that has to change!

I'm talking about Melyssa from The Nectar Collective. She is an incredibly positive and uplifting person who focuses on the good in life and teaches other people how to be happy. Right up my alley!

She also runs a weekly link-up called Weekly Wishes, whose purpose it is to create manageable goals for oneself, encourage each other and create a community of women and friends. 

I usually pop over to read them, but only link up once in a while. 

Today's theme I couldn't pass up: It's nature! If you know me at all you know that nature plays an extremely important role in my life. I love being outdoors, with our animals, and I also enjoy taking photos of it. The above is from the fall, from one of my walks with Snowy. 

Since I didn't link up last week I didn't write down weekly goals, but I had a few and am pleased to let you know that I achieved them!

We had our family Christmas last Saturday, and it was a smashing success. No melt-downs on my part, only minor anxiety about the turkey (our oven is acting up lately, it gets super-hot, so it is a guessing game how long it takes to cook something - our 17 lb. turkey was done in under 3 hours!), it was full of harmony, and all the gifts were well received (at least I think so). 

It was a lovely, relaxing evening, one of the best Christmasses in a long time!

I also got my own domain! Did you notice? http://mivasophia.blogspot.ca became www.farmgirlmiriam.ca!

I've been wanting to do that for some time, but hesitated because I find stuff like that quite intimidating. But it worked (halleluja!), and now my blog name is in the URL which makes way more sense.

This week's wishes:

1. Reflect on 2013 and write it a letter for this link-up.

2. Eat something green every day. (Green icing on cookies does not count.)

3. Go snowboarding with Lea!
It's our thing, going nightboarding, and we have the best conversations when we do. If it doesn't work out for this week, then hopefully in the new year.

What are your goals for the week? Any new year's resolutions yet?
