Ringing In The New Year

It's time to talk about those pesky New Years Resolutions. You know.... the ones we never keep. The ones in which we set the goal so high, we fail before we even get a running start. This year let's make it our year. Set realistic goals. Only a few weeks at a time. Then, before we know it, it's 2012 and we have reached all our dreams for 2011.

 Tuff Phit has it's own New Years Resolution. Together with Your Happy Hearts.com, I have written several articles, posted numerous recipes, and hopefully motivated you to continue to reach for your goals.  I am not perfect and have tons of goals for myself. I fall short, I feel like I don't want to workout on numerous occassions, and get lazy at times. Then something(s), mainly these two blogs and you my readers, kick me in the butt to keep going.

As I manage both of these sites I see them going in different directions and really becoming of their own identity. I would hate my readers to be subscribed to both and getting the same or repetitive information. (With the exception of this post!) So what does 2011 hold for Tuff Phit.com and Your Happy Hearts.com? Simply this.....

Your Happy Hearts is going CHICK. Yup, that's right. It's going to be a motivation place for woman to get the encouragement they need for daily tasks. Reminding you to take time for yourself and make healthy choices along the way. Full of product suggestions that are affordable for anyone.

Merry Christmas! 

I wanted to take a moment to say Thank-You. My subscribers are so awesome and I love all the comments. Keep bringing it. Your Happy Hearts.com could not be up and running without all of you. You have been so loyal. YHH has been up and running since June of 2008. We don't know what lies ahead for us this next year as our sister site Tuff Phit.com has hit the internet with a storm.

I want to thank the incredible health and fitness companies who have been allowing me to test and write about their products on both our sites.  The more knowledge I can provide to my readers about eating healthy, taking care of their skin, living an organic life, and different workout equipment is such a blessing to all. 

I want to thank my family and hubby for their support. You have all encouraged me to continue with my fitness and have shown me how to reach and help others. 

 

And then it brings me to Praising God!  The symbol above is an Ichthus. Translation in Greek: "Jesus Christ Son Of God Father".  (I have this tattooed on my big toe :) This symbol was used to represent Jesus before there was a cross. Christians would draw the top line of the Ichthus in the sand and wait to see if the person they were standing with, would draw the bottom line. If they did they knew they were both followers and believers in "the Fisher of Men" and could be trusted. This was a quiet way to ask about their faith, without being persecuted for the question of their beliefs. 

When Jesus walked this earth, there was no cross to be worn around anyones neck. He had not yet shown his last and most important sacrifice for us. Jesus hung for your sins.  The true thought of that makes me cry. He did it for ME. But more important, he did it for ALL OF US.  Christmas is all about HIM coming to US. Finding us and showing us the way.

So remember during the times when you are stressed over how the house will look at Christmas, if you have enough presents for the kids, or if the family will like your food. Think about how Jesus must have felt hanging and bleeding to death.  He took your worry, your sin, your sickness, your poverty, your everything, with him. He took it so you don't have to live that way. Sick, tired, worried, and poor. By Jesus' blood you are RICH, HEALTHY, BEAUTIFUL, RENEWED and FREE FROM OLD SIN. 

So ask Jesus, over the holidays, to come into your life and give up that old habit that brings you down and makes you unhealthy. You can't do it on your own and you weren't designed to. Let Jesus help you and love you like no one else can. 

Lord, Thank You for my health, my friends, and my family. Thank You for my readers. And Thank You for giving me another chance to PRAISE YOU! Remember Jesus LIVES IN YOU!

With all my love and blessings to you and your family, sincerely from the bottom of my heart, Merry Christmas and Many Blessings.
