I'm closing the 2005 chapter in my life. I will WRITE 2006 myself instead of allowing it to happen.

As the year comes to a close, I refuse to reflect on what has happened in my life this past year. I'm setting aside all the "coulda, woulda, shouldas" and directing my focus towards my light.

My light, that shines inward, will forever shine outward from this day forth.
I have discovered that resolutions have no meaning unless you intend to carry them forth. My intention is to utilize the tools I've been given, whether by reading or self-discovery, and wear them as proudly. I will say NO to things (whatever and whomever) I don't deem necessary in my circle, and cling to the things and people that truely mean love to me.

I am a HERO--to me.
I will resolve myself to being the light in my own life. I am my own bright star and my committment to me is what matters. My inward beauty will reflect in my exterior beauty. As a result the following things will happen:

• Weight release
• Financial release
• Confidence/Risk Taking
• Trust
• Senerity
• and last but not least LOVE---ok Marti, you win!

In 2006, I will have the wisdom of Iyanla, the elegance if Beyonce, the business sense of both Oprah and Tyra, and the confidence of Mo'Nique. Added to my never ending faith in HIM--is an unbreakable Daquan.

Stand back 2006, cause baby, it's gonna be some shit!!!!

Into my own,

Daquan
