Here we are nearly at the end of January and I am finally getting around to setting my lesbionic goals for the new year. What with trying to wreck all the marriages and destroy all the civilizations I’ve been a scosh busy. Now that I’ve caught my breath from all my wanton debauchery I’ve had a chance to write down a few really gay things I plan to do this year. Content advisory: the word sex appears once. Oh wait, now twice. Does that make it NSFW?
I will start each and every day with prayers of help, thanks and wow.
I will tell my children how much I love them.
I will step out into the world with hope and joy.
I will show up everywhere with my whole self.
I will get my a$$ to church more often.
I will get my hands dirty in service to others.
I will learn new things about myself, others and the world.
I will think, breathe and think again before speaking.
I will listen actively.
I will apologize when I am careless.
I will say “I don’t know” when it is true.
I will take more…pictures.
I will give more…money.
I will read…differently.
I will write…thoughtfully.
I will work…harder.
I will ask for help when I need it.
I will eat healthy food when I am hungry.
I will break bread, drink wine and remember.
I will go outside and play whenever I can.
I will rest gently when I am tired.
I will enjoy good sex.
I will laugh heartily.
I will cry deeply.
I will kindly ask the board room in my head to shut the F**K up.
I will stop leaving bread crumbs to find my way back and trust that the place I am going is good.*
I will put one foot in front of the other without fear.
I will forgive myself for the past.
I will let myself receive love.
I will tell my children how much I love them.
I will read this list one more time.
I will end each day with prayers of wow, thanks and help.
