Not All Girls Like Pink

SO since I just did a Music Monday segment of Mumford & Sons, I'm gonna top it off with an amazing dance piece by one of my favourite dancers. :)

This is one of my favourite songs from Mumford & Sons. They've got some really great music and this English folk rock band definitely captivates the little village girl in me.

And all the while, we write, cause a scientist always observes and takes note of each and every action and reaction they find. Every year, I write my promises for the year. What I hope to achieve at work, at home, with my family, in my relationships, for my physical health and for my spiritual well being. But this year, I figured, why write a whole page of promises I hardly keep. Good intentions but no follow-through. That's my problem!  hmmph . So this year, I only made one promise.
