The Beginning of a Plan

I only got started on my goals and plans and strategies for the new year. I use some tools from the life coach usually. Didn't get to those today. I decided to use Knotty Yarn's 107 things to do in 2007 (double OH Seven!) as a brainstorming technique and jumping off point.

It was hard. I had to put lots of things on there that I'm pretty uncomfortable admitting. So I thought I wouldn't post the list here. Then I remembered the point I made about how if you declare something it's more likely to happen and I decided I'd put the list up no matter how it felt.

    Okay.

    I hope to be able to do #10 with you in the spring.

    Let's try to help each other remember #s 32, 43, 97, and 102.

    My husband is a few days away from helping you do 39 and 40 - give him another week or so. He can probably also help with #52 - I want one, too.

    Would you like to try to make plans to do one o f35, 37 or 38 together this summer? It's been too long since I've taken a trip to see you...

    I know at least two VERY accomplished artists and might be able to help you with #57 - though it will depend on the KIND of art you want on the CD cover...

    I would LOVE to help you out with #72 - I really enjoy those places...

    I can probably help out with #90, too, now that my kitchen is functional and I'm thinking like a cook again.

    This was great! Thanks for doing it!

    (have you taken your vitamin today?)
