This year I am NOT making any resolutions about losing weight, getting in shape or drinking less wine.

In fact, I don’t even believe in making resolutions for the New Year because I know that by mid-January all those good intensions will have gone the way of the jackalope.

But I am making one commitment to myself that I do intend to keep. By the end of 2008 (and as soon as possible), I will have quit my job and will be gainfully employed doing something that lifts my spirit and feeds my soul.

WooHoo! Just writing that gives me goosebumps. There is something so powerful about making a commitment for all the world to see.

It’s also a bit scary. But if Paul Potts can follow his dreams and go from being a cell phone salesman to an International Opera Star, and the highest selling International Artist of 2007 (so far), then I can do it too.

And if you haven’t already seen it, here is his initial appearance on a show called “Britain’s Got Talent”. He went on to win the show. Get out your kleenex!

Paul, you are my hero! Kudos to you.
