Love God. Love yourself. Cherish your family and real friends-they know, accept, and love you the way you are. Pocket protector included.

Celebrate something everyday-no matter how small. A computer chip the size of a pinhead, for example, will suffice.

Know where and when your best ideas come to you. If it’s in the shower, know that some of your notions may be all wet.

Realize that small miracles happen –they are gifts from God. And He knows how to shop just for you!

Keep learning to renew your mind and spirit.

Read the bible. It’s a life guide.

Conquer bad habits. Practice good ones. See above.

Make New Year’s resolutions-they make for good goals and a dart board.

Get along with your family as best you can. God gave them as a gift to you-one you might like to return, but still live as if the refund date has expired.

Don’t let anyone deter you from your dreams and hopes. ‘Nuff’ said.

Money isn’t everything. But we need it to welcome change.

Embrace the right to say no. You just can’t improve on this one. Especially women.

At least once a year, visit loved ones in a cemetery. Halloween does not count.
