Ideas for the New Year

It's hard to believe that this blog has been going on for over a year now. Blogs are such a great way to share your thoughts and learn from other people. Thanks so much to all of you who continue to read mine and follow me on the journey of Bravery Project. So much as happened in the past year and lots of great projects are planned for the next. I will give you a sneek peak into what's in store and also some informative websites that you may find useful as you set your New Year's goals.

Here is what 2009 has in store for Bravery Project and for you as a supporter.

• In the next month you will see a website redesign for Bravery Project that will look better, be more intactive, and easier to maneuver for artwork.
• Additions to the merchandise page.
• A membership area that will provide discounts of event tickets, artwork, portrait commissions, merchandise and a quarterly newsletter/magazine, interviews, video and more.
• A quarterly newsletter that will feature a survivor success story, legal and medical advice, resource lists, articles that unify the domestic violence movement and more. This will be available to Bravery members and will eventually turn into a full blown magazine.
• Bravery Project Scholarships to a survivor (or two) working hard for a better life.
• Bravery coffee table book--proposals are being sent to publishers currently.
• Evening of the Arts--special event coming later in the year that you can't miss!

Come with me!

Now for some websites that you may find interesting and helpful as you set your new goals this year:

America's Cheapest Family (Great ideas to save money in tough times.)

Larry Winget: The Pitbull of Personal Development (Great kick in the pants to meet your goals.)

Cathe: Do something different every workout and see the results (Great workouts; like having a personal trainer in your home.)

Real Age: Live Life to the Youngest (Great website to learn more about health.)

Kim Komando: America's Digital Goddess (Great syndicated radio show and website for computer geeks like me.)

ENJOY and HAPPY 2009!!!!
