New Year's Resolutions can be hard to keep. Particularly if they seem arduous. But hey, they could be fun ones too! Plus, I have a theory that if I post them publicly, I'll be more likely to follow through. At least that's my hope! So here are a few resolutions from myself and the other folks behind Block Island Organics. We'd love to hear what yours are! Just post them in the comments below.

- Cook breakfast one day a week - I don't cook but I've always wanted to learn. However I think saying "cook more" is too broad a resolution and they always say the best kind are specific. So I think tackling breakfast once a week is a good start. Cooking an egg and making some toast doesn't seem so difficult.
- Do not buy new clothes for myself - Part of my larger goal in life is to save money and spend less. A big culprit for me is shopping! I'm going to take a break for three months and not buy new clothes - let's see how much money I save.
- Volunteer once a month - I talk a big game about wanting to help others and do good for the world. Now it's my time to "put my money where my mouth is" and do something.

- Learn to draw - Earlier in 2013 I was working my way through a great book on learning to draw called Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (a book my mom recommended to me over 20 years ago) but I got sidetracked a few months ago. As what one might call a "terrible artist" I was pretty surprised with my before and after drawings having worked through the first few exercises. Time to get back at it!
- Explore other creative outlets - This kind of goes along with the drawing theme but in general I'd like to try some other endeavors. I have dreams around learning the piano, learning to sing and creating micro-movies / webisodes. So I want to spend some time exploring these areas too.
- Eat more vegetables - This one is not quite as fun for me but it's something I definitely need to do. Along those lines, maybe I should learn to cook a little more than Trader Joes frozen food?
