Let's get right into my goals for 2015
{Eat Less Gluten}My mom was diagnosed with celiac disease about 2 years ago and when we went on our girls trip I experience first hand how hard it is to live with celiacs.  I didn't realize how awful of a disease it was until my mom was diagnosed. If it is left untreated and a person keeps eating gluten it can lead to MS, diabetes, infertility/miscarriage, neurological disorders and intestinal cancers. My grandmother died of colon cancer back before anyone really knew anything about celiac. So quite honestly I'm a little scared and gluten really isn't good for you so why not really reduce the amount that I eat.  I think the hardest part for me is going to be the sweets and pastries. Although I've found some delicious GF chocolate chip cookies that we eat all the time and more and more stores, bakeries and restaurants are providing gluten free options. 

{Bring lunch to work more often}I find that when I don't bring my lunch I eat garbage so bringing my lunch will alleviate that problem.
{Learn to use my DSLR in manual mode}I think I may have had this same goal last year as well and I'm adding it again. I'm actually thinking I should find myself some sort of course at a community center or something to get this ball rolling. I have no excuse seeing as how I've had my big girl camera for 2 years now. 

{Give up the envy and stop comparing}I'm sure a lot of us suffer from this issue. I think the most important thing is to be happy with your life and your present. Don't compare your life to anyone else's because everyone has their own struggles.

{Get in touch with my spirit}I'm not sure how to explain this one but I think you all know what I mean. I feel like the hustle and bustle of work and just life in general sometimes takes us away from our "self" and our individual spirit. We spend so much time just getting through it all and we tend to lose our sense of self. So my goal is to pay more attention to my spirit. I think that I'll start listening to guided meditations and I'd really like to try integrating yoga into my routine as well.  I feel it is really important to check in with yourself and make sure that you are tending to your "self". I think it is the key to happiness and contentment in life.

And I'll leave you with a little wish for your year as well.
