Happy New Year everyone! How's your new year?  I hope you are all having a blast. As for us, we don't usually spend a lot of bucks in preparation for the new year. We just had a simple dinner with my family and extended family at home. When the clock reaches at 12 am, we prayed and had a fellowship together thanking God and declaring the good things that will come for the year 2014. I am also praying and declaring that this year, there will be more blogging opportunities that will come along my way.  One of my blogging goals is to write at least thrice a week in each of my 15 managed blogs. Aside from blogging, I am also looking forward for a good flow of my online work as a writer and editor of a magazine. All in all, I keep on hoping, believing and claiming for God's unmerited favor that He's going to pour out in my family and also in our church ministry.

This New Year, it is now time to unfold new horizons and realize new dreams, to rediscover the strength and faith within you, to rejoice in simple pleasures and to gear up for a new and exciting challenges... Wishing you all a truly fulfilling New Year!

When New Year approaches, we often start searching for the best New Year’s resolution ideas. It's a time for us to look back and reminisce the things that we have done from the past and more importantly, we look forward for the good and better things for the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes that we want or we need to make and resolve and follow through on those changes. There are many common goals that we want to set before a new year begins. Some of the most popular New Year’s resolution that we want to do specially for stay-at-home moms like me is we want to lose weight, we want start a healthy diet, do some fitness and exercise, and of course we want to earn more "moolahs" from blogging. When setting a new goal, it’s essential for us to create a plan of action. The achievement process of a new year’s resolution takes commitment. There are often serious life changes involved and there must be a detailed plan for the process of how to achieve a s

 Me on my straight long hair Ever since my high school and college days, I used to have a long, black and straight hair and since I got married, I still have a long hair because my hubby doesn't want a short one. I just let it fixed by a hair clamp, got it ponytailed or just simply hang it down with or without a hair band in it.  Now I feel getting bored with my straight hair and for a change, I want something new, a  new image on my hairstyle for this new year that could fit my looks and my chic personality.  I was searching in Google for some new hairstyles for 2010 and I found out some long and curly hairstyles this year and I love it!  I am amazed Halle Berry's  long hair style full of loose romantic curls and pulled back on the sides that creates a chic, formal look on her. I hope this could also looks good on me.  How about with a lovely bangs on front and a big curly hair?  Which of these looks best on me my friends?     

This is a time for reflection as well as a celebration. As you look back on the past year and all that has taken place in your life, Remember each experience for the good that has come of it and for the knowledge you have gained. Remember the efforts you have made and the goals you have reached. Remember the love you have shared and the happiness you have brought. Remember the laughter, the joy, the hard work, and the tears. And as you reflect on the past year, also be thinking of the new one to come. Because most importantly, this is a time of new beginnings and the celebration of life." Here's my New Year Prayer for All...  "Heavenly Father, for this coming year Just one request I bring. I do not pray for happiness or any earthly thing. I do not ask to understand the way you lead me; But this I ask—teach me to do the thing that pleases You. I want to know Your guiding voice, To walk with you each day. Heavenly Father, Make
