Me and G New Year's 2011

My best friend.  The love of my life.  My rock.

Goals 2011

Last summer I was trained as a facilitator for the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People".  Very cool program.  Very guru-esque creator (Steven Covey)...

Because of that training, I surfed one day to the Franklin Covey website (his company) and did the personal mission statement section...it takes some focused time, but it's a good way to get an objective view of your personal philosophies and goals.

SO, here are some of mine:

• I am at my best when I have a deadline and I can turn everything else off to hyper-focus.

• I will try to prevent times when I'm micromanaging.

• I will find enjoyment in my personal life through travel, hiking, and experiencing new places.

• I will find opportunities to use my natural talents and gifts such as writing, dreaming, and creating.

• I can do anything I set my mind to. I will learn Spanish, travel around the world, continue my education, and build a house.

• I will stop procrastinating and start working on:

• frivolous spending.
• abandonment of wasted time on facebook, email, internet, TV, etc...screens in general...
• quiet time with God.

• I will strive to incorporate the following attributes into my life:

• grace
• unconditional love
• a spirit of life

• I will constantly renew myself by focusing on the four dimensions of my life:

• exercise...cardio and weights
• daily quiet time
• literature, more education (National Board Certification)
• quality time with Garon and my children
