Kate Black’s Resolutions
2011 left me figuratively AND literally gutted. Don’t get me wrong— plenty of wonderful and meaningful things for which I am profoundly grateful happened as well. Still, I’m far too wrung out to craft a proper “2011 in review” style post, as many of my brilliant friends have been doing. Instead, I’m gonna repost something Kate Black wrote, and keep her words vigilantly in the forefront of my mind in 2012, for she is very wise and beautiful. Thank you, Kate.
Resolutions I Made & Kept Last Year
by Kate Black
- Cultivate more meaningful relationships. Be your best self with the people you admire most. Remove yourself from the lives of people who don’t deserve you.
- Show up when friends & people you admire need help. Even if it’s never reciprocated, you’ve done something useful.
- Take work that leaves you with a clear conscience. I may not have made enough money to achieve some of my goals this year, but I’ve never been on the Walmart account.
- Say yes to things. Even if it’s not your style. Especially if it’s not your style. Life is about breadth of experience.
- Dress sexier. Wear things that highlight what you like about yourself. Your body is not a secret, so avoiding bright colors & outlandish costumes doesn’t magically hide things you may wish were different. You’ll feel better.
