I see resolution time approaching.  My world is dominated by resolution-oriented thoughts.
In this spirit, I offer this short list of my resolutions:

• I resolve to learn more, recognizing that I’ll never be smart enough.  As such, eyes, ears, and mind will be kept in the “on” and “open” positions.

• I resolve to support community.  Because community is at the heart of everything we have.  Community makes us care about others and makes them care about us.  Community makes things fun, keeps things vibrant, and feeds the creativity of all involved in it, regardless of race, religion, or creed.  Community, like that Tacoma is fostering, is the height of cool, and I want to do my part to keep it vital.

• I resolve to hang out at urbanXchange more, especially in the month of January when Danii Blackwell and Lisa Fruichantie will have an installation up. The displays will be changed weekly, and the products will include groovy things like leg warmers that you could get from the mall or Target â€" but why would you want to? â€" Jessica Corey-Butler
