Something I've been doing from the start of this new year is to try and lose 5 lbs a month.  That isn't working out too well for me, bc I step on the scale everyday.  The worst thing I can do, I know.
I also have a booklet for the 50 Days of Prayer & Giving for the BMA of America.  I've been keeping it somewhere that I will always see it.  In the bathroom.  That is the only place I can put it that guarantees me seeing it and it being a reminder for me to pray.  I also have my prayer lists from Wednesday night taped up on my bathroom mirror.  Not so close to the commode. LOL
So, my prayer life is getting a little better, as I am being reminded each day to pray for others.  I don't need to be reminded to pray for myself and the things I want.  But, I do need reminder for friends & family.  These are the ones that really need my prayers.
My inspiration from Magpie is this... she wrote on her website a few months back about asking God to make her beautiful again... inside and out.
I've been asking myself lately, "Is this beautiful?"  "What can I do to make it more beautiful?", etc.  I want to be beautiful on the inside and out.  But not only that, I want my house to be beautiful.  I want my kids to be beautiful.  I want everything in my life, that I can control, to be beautiful.  Bc if it isn't beautiful, then what is my purpose on this earth? 
I'm not talking about just physical beauty. 
I want my kids to be beautiful on the inside.  I want the fighting and screaming to stop.  I want them to have manners.  I want them to learn respect.  I want my youngest to make her underwear beautiful by going on the potty. LOL
There are so many good intentioned plans that I have for my life, for my family, and I waste each day away without contributing to any of these plans.  I intend for that to stop.
One thing about myself, my first name is Sarah.  As you all know, in the Bible, Sarah was known for her beauty.
Genesis 12:11-And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou are a fair woman to look upon:"
She was beautiful.  I want to be beautiful all over.  I want my appearance to be pleasing to look at, I want my body to be at a healthy weight, I want my inner thoughts to be pure, I want my prayer life to be powerful, I want my Bible study to be diligent.  I want all areas of my life to be beautiful.
"All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small.  All things wise and wonderful, The LORD GOD made them all!"
