Over the years many of us have made countless new year’s resolutions that we sometimes kept for a few months, a few days and in some cases a matter of minutes. We can surely agree that many of us have fell short on keeping most individual resolutions but also have fallen far short on our collective new year’s initiatives that otherwise may have had a positive impact on our community and therefore our people had we been able to exhibit more discipline.

Well, one thing about life here on the physical plane….as long as we are alive…we have another chance to try again.

So as a member of the conscious community I would like to ask all of my brothers and sisters, young and old, who have the strength, the heart and conviction

To join me in making a pledge,

that this time we will keep……that we must keep… in order for ourselves, our children, as well as the many generations to come to survive in this ongoing battle we find ourselves in.
