Fascinating quote about love from C.S.Lewis

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”- C.S. Lewis

What is the purpose of a resolution?

Resolutions give us the opportunity to "remake" our lives. To free ourselves of negative patterns and habits, impel our lives towards greater success and see ourselves afresh. Whether you hold to your resolutions or not, remember that your resolutions are a sign you are willing to look at what needs to be improved in your life and open to the idea of self-betterment, and one day, sooner or later, you will do what is necessary to make yourself and your life better, whether it is this year or the next. Happy New Year and good luck in making 2011 your best year yet! warmest wishes, Sarina
