New Year’s Resolutions

I don’t usually make New Year’s resolutions, but here’s one that my friend, River Jordan, made a few years ago, and then she ended up turning it into a book:

She resolved to pray for a stranger every day for a year. Yes, she would just go up to someone she met during the day, and ask if they would mind if she prayed for them that day.

Listen to River tell about how she got started on the project here.

Praying For Strangers
will be out in April of 2011.

Vicki Britton offers up some good advice in her article at Suite101.com: “Twenty New Year’s Resolutions for New and Published Writers.”

Joyce Good Henderson challenges writers to create a mission statement by answering a few questions about their New Year’s Resolutions at Writethat.com.


Do you make New Year’s Resolutions? If so, has this practice proved helpful to you in the past? (whether or not you’re a writer)
