RESOLUTIONS:
Local folks have
goals for 2015
Continued from page 3
resolutions on January 1 as
a way to honor the Roman
mythical god Janus, whose
two faces allowed him to
look back into the past year
and forward to the new year.
Romans mostly made moral-
ity-based resolutions, such
as seeking forgiveness from
their enemies.
With every new year
comes the chance to change
our mindsets, eliminate neg-
ativity and choose to move
forward. And many residents
in Sisters are feeling that
sense of adventure to start
over with their resolutions
and goals for 2015.
Whitney Hanson, man-
ager for 281 West: “My New
Year hope is that my fiancé
and I will be able to buy a
home by the end of the year.”
Julia Rickards, Clearwater
Gallery owner: “Last night
at the dinner table, we all
decided to focus on one word
all year. Mine is balance and
Dan’s (Rickards) word is
order. On a personal note I
would like to finish reading
books I start, and as for Dan,
he would like to visit five
National Parks!”
Heather Johnson, Sisters
High School health teacher:
“Let us care and connect with
all of humanity and nature.
Let us accept, respect, and
appreciate the unique diver-
sity of every being and every
belief.”
Jan McGowan, executive
officer on Circle of Friends
board: “I am going to take a
walk every day, to get ready
for my six-week hike on the
coast this summer. And I am
going to clean out a drawer
every day for the month of
January.”
Kathryn Godsiff, presi-
dent of Rotary Club of
Sisters: “Every year I recy-
cle the same resolution; to
write a memoir of my years
in New Zealand, manag-
ing sheep and cattle farms
with my husband, and rais-
ing three sons. I’ll be going
there on my own in March to
visit (one of our sons is there
and he and his wife just had
a baby on Christmas!) It’ll
be my first solo trip back and
might just be a good time to
reflect.”
John Creason, Outlaw
Aviation Flight Instructor:
In the spirit of southern New
Year’s traditions, “I ate black
eyed peas on New Year’s
Day, which are supposed to
bring good luck. So, I’m hop-
ing that holds true in busi-
ness ventures and personal
development.”
Tracy Foteff, Barefoot
in Sisters owner: “I want to
hike the PCT Oregon sec-
tions. Give more, spend less,
and spend more time with my
family. Be a better friend and
lose weight.”
David Miller, RE/MAX
Revolution broker: “Love
big, pray hard, and to live
free!”
Vickie Herring, livestock
manager: “Worry less, ride
more!”
Duncan Campbell, Circle
of Friends founder: “To be
able to serve more children

with mentors, or friends.”
Marsha Marr, owner of
Miss Sew it all: “On New
Year’s Day, I was walk-
ing my daily walk and as I
approached the crosswalk,
a family with a young girl,
about 5 years old, were also
approaching. The little girl
smiled very sheepishly up
at me and I gave her my big
smile. When she realized that
I was really smiling at her,
her eyes lit up and she gave
me the biggest smile back. A
smile can really light some-
one up. So this year I resolve
to smile more! As Connie
Stevens said; ‘Nothing you
wear is more important than
your smile.’”
