Living With Intention - Working Towards “More”

I love a New Year - I love any kind of fresh start. While somewhat contrived, a fresh start always has me buzzing. I had, like so many of us, ups and downs throughout the past year, but what I'm learning by living with my dad, who spends his days pretty solitary and pretty mundane (in my opinion), is that I want more. There's a part of me that's frustrated that it took me this long to realize I would need to work really, really hard to get that 'more' (silly, I know, but honest), but I also know better late than never. So this year I'm 12 days in living with intention. My mother would say I've gone 'wo-wo' with such language but I also know she worked hard to lead by example to want and strive for more. My need to live with intention stems from changes, both good and bad, I've seen in myself, friends, family, my neighborhood and our world. I've always been a person who needs structure, needs to work with a plan, so this year, loaded with intention and support from Frank who is crushing it already this year - I will work to be healthy, sound, financially secure and most importantly for me, creative. I will be busy, structure means structure, means putting what I say I want ahead of other easier to accomplish things, but I know what I want now, and it's with this structure and this intention that I will work towards more.
