2012 Mission Statement

by Teri on February 19, 2012 · 31 comments

Eat good food. Real food.

Drink excellent wine.

Love.

Travel often.

Savor life…

Especially the small moments.

Read frequently and diversely.

Dress well.

Wear bold lipstick.

Moisturize.

Wear sunscreen.

Forgive myself and others.

Say I’m sorry.

Laugh.

Cry.

Be a good friend.

Move on.

Sit still.

Indulge.

Save.

Spoil myself. I deserve it.

Express gratitude.

Express love.

Give thoughtful gifts. And thank you notes.

Let go of regrets. I can’t change the past.

Be kind, sweet, classy, and ladylike.

Be a little sassy too.

And BOLD.

Know myself.

Love myself.

Love,

Me

Such a lovely, inspiring mission statement. A great way to start of 2012!

I can’t remember now how I found your blog, but I’m so glad I did! I’ll be following along (and trying some recipes, too!). :)

PS. Love your handwriting!

This is absolutely perfect and a mission statement I think most of us could all get behind. I hope you don’t mind but I just may print this out for myself :)

BTW I love your handwriting too. Mine hasn’t changed since the 2nd grade!
