GFTW 14: I Know it's Monday, and This Week's Different!
And before I do, I'll tell ya this list and outlook is changing the way I create my GFTW. For the past four weeks I've written out these 10 Goals I Want to Achieve in 12 Months every single morning on my daily calendar sheet. Then...(here's the good part) I think of 1 specific action I want to do for each goal that day. It's been a really fun and challenging experience.
So here (drum roll please...) are my 10 Goals I am Committed to Have in 1 Year:
1. Have a serene, inviting and fabulous home
2. Make X a month
3. Surround myself by supportive and powerful community who will push, challenge, and inspire me
4. Create a workshop to present to a large group of people
5. Have a fabulous wardrobe
6. Be uber savvy and in charge of my finances
7. Weekly facials, massage, or personal upkeep
8. Write a book
9. Peak physical performance and athlete
10. Save 30% of my paychecks
So there they are. Puttin' it out there for the
And now why do I have the pic of the Dimitry McDowell article up top? Well, I'd love to emulate her. She's a writer (too cool), she's a runner (cool), she writes on topics that are r.i.g.h.t. up my alley (yes), and I'm a bit jealous of her. And it's all good. Oh...and I had the privilege meeting her (and she actually IS cool), so makes my 'idol' affection feel more normalized;-)
Now, my questions for you: I'd love to hear your list if you have one! And/or tell me what's on your radar for the week? Talk to me, talk to me!
Now... I'm off to continue galavanting around cool LA with my kidz and best friend for a few more days (yah, it's been just wonderful)!

My number one running goal this year is to finally complete a marathon.
At the top of my list are to write and publish more and to run another (couple of) marathons this year.
I'm also looking into a book this year. Such a big project to take on, but it's time!
Have a great week!
And yes, the people you surround yourself with...SO important!
Your goals are excellent! Inspiring and motivating! Thanks!
Have a super week!
I haven't written down goals in a long time, thanks for the inspiration!

Oh, and when you mentioned meeting Dimitry, this is how I felt when I met Lucy Calkins (writer about literacy instruction/professor at Columbia Teachers College in NY) and someone I've considered a mentor in the education field when it comes to early literacy and reading and writing instruction...so cool to meet her and e-mail with her!
Okay, I just had to come back because I keep thinking of your goals. Btw, what are you plans for getting going on writing your book and getting it published? ARe you just going to write it first and then worry about finding a publisher, agent, editor or what have you? or do you already have connections?
#4 intrigues and seems like you could present on a variety of topics!!
Oh, and I will totally read your book!
Loose weight and be a stronger faster runner.
Run one or two more marathons and feel good about my time.
Take more time to laugh with my kids and love on my husband. The last part is key, we need to date each other more and spend more time being a couple.
I have lots more I sure, but those are big for me right now.
Enjoy LA,

Just wanted to let you know that I thought about you while I cleaned out the fridge today.
It wasn't planned. The fridge broke down and it was just starting to get kinda funky in there. So, I had to throw things out.
Don't know why I associate you and fridge. :)
