On New Year’s Day everyone makes New Year’s Resolutions. I’m going to loose weight. I’m going to start a business. I’m going to take my dream vacation. You can’t wait to share resolutions. Don’t do it! Derek Sivers, founder of CD Baby, says it’s better to keep your goals a secret.

Today my little man started school. It’s only preschool, but it is still hard to grasp. I have friends who are thrilled their kids are gone to school. I know older adults who couldn’t get their kids out the door fast enough when the new school year began. Growing-up I remember my mom telling me how back-to-school time was her least favorite time of year. I couldn’t figure out why. I thought it was just terrible for my sister and I. Now I get it.

If I BBQ my food in the summer I will end-up with colon cancer. And because my calves are slender I will have a stroke? Please, just let me live my life. I have two small children. My one-year-old is due for her MMR vaccine. Already upset that you’re baby has to be poked, you hear the voices of celebrities like Jenny McCarthy claiming the MMR vaccine gave her son Autism.
