KWANZAA PRINCIPLE DAY-2

2nd Kwanzaa Principle: Kujichagulia or Self–Determination
Health Principle: It’s within your power to determine what your future health will be. Act on it.

My personal goals for 2013 –
Continual working toward a Health body, exercise 30 minutes 4-5 days
week, walking 3-4 days a week, eating healthy and losing 40 pounds.
Continual working toward my goal of visiting all 50 states.
Craft at least 15 minutes everyday and use something new, or
different and just play around with a new or never used product once a week.
 What our your goals for 2013, if you like to share that wold be great. If not write them down and revisit them often, maybe every two or three weeks to stay on tack.
