There is something about January 1st that makes the world feel new again. It’s really only the tomorrow to December 31st, no different than any other tomorrow, but when the day arrives we all feel we’ve been given another chance. I suppose in some way, 
it is a marker on the time-line of life, a a way of measuring where we are.
Many of us are making personal and professional resolutions for the new year. We promise to lose weight, tone up, eat healthier, blog more, complain less, etc.
To help you with your goals for the new year I have a couple of items to giveaway!

Hi Erica,
Awesome contest, looks like you found yourself some great sponsors. I tweeted this amazing contest and subscribed to your newsletter
-My goal for 2010 is to provide people with better content, continue to have an amazing community, and connect with more and more superb bloggers.
My goal is to become a better blogger. I started one this year at http://www.crystaly.wordpress.com but I haven't really carved out my bloggin niche yet and I'm not sure if I should blend posts about my personal projects with posts weighing in on industry topics. And I might want to figure out a way to monetize the blog, since I'm going to college next year and we all know college isn't cheap.
Clever post this one and some excellent gifts on offer.
I talk a lot about my goals for 2010, guest posting at least 10 times a month while producing 60 posts a month for my own site.
Continue to help people.
Great idea for this post, congrats
Happy New Year, Erica!
What a way to start off.
My # 1 goal this year is to create six information products and show others how to create their own. There has never been a better time for this business model.
Good luck to everyone on the pursuit of your goals.
My number one goal is to improve the quality of my writing during this year.
During the past few months I have been busy getting content on my site at the expense of quality..
My main objective for 2010 is to spend more time on my blogs, and to document the process of bringing them all up-to-date on http://www.cymeradwyo.net/
Although I blog and podcast regularly on my main sites, sometimes other projects just seem to get in the way. This will change…
