Hi lovers,

I missed you tons. I hope you missed me too.

So as you rang in the New Year, surrounded by friends and family, kissing your significant others/random stranger you met five minutes ago, you must have thought -- gee, how can I improve myself?

So let's hear it, CGB, what are your resolutions?

And what can we do to help meet our resolutions?

I'll say for one thing: be specific. Don't just say "lose weight" or "eat healthy". Say "go to the gym x times per week" or "limit dessert to once a week". Don't say "be more aware of what's going in the world", say "Read BBC for ten minutes first thing every morning" or "Subscribe to the Economist"

Anyway, my diatribe is done.

My resolution is to be more involved with charity work. To make it more specific, it means taking on a bigger role in one charity I'm involved with and increasing the hours I spend per month on it.

K, that's a wrap. Catch you on the flippity flip.
