ReplyDeleteremain blessed and good luck to everyone participating!
I am going to focus on me- finding out who I really am and what my priorities are beyond my faith and family. What do I love. What do I need to let go?

ReplyDeleteMy 3 main goals for 2011 are:
ReplyDelete1. Adopting and maintaing a healthy lifestyle. Tired of the yo-yo dieting.
2. Working on my relationship. I tend to get cold feet whenever the discussion comes up about spending the rest of my life with my BF. I'm going to let go of the commitment fear syndrome and step out on faith. I realized that after dating for 3 years, we don't have any pictures that we've taken together so I'm starting a new scrapbook about us in 2011.
3. Volunteering! - I love to volunteer with different agencies and in 2011 I'm going to give a little more time volunteering in the community.
My main goals for 2011 are to get organized and stay that way; loose weight for good; start exercising maybe join a Zumba class and spend more 'date' time with my husband. I hope to also get more srcap time in and to let my daughter help me (practice on my patience).
ReplyDeleteThis year I want to focus on eating healthier and getting regular exercise. I'm going to prioritize getting my home in order and crossing off all the To Dos that seem to linger around forever. I'm also going to focus on stepping out of my comfort zone more whether its in scrapbooking, style of dress, or social interactions. I like safe and easy, but this year I'm going to stretch myself so I end the year with even more joy than I started it.
ReplyDeleteHabari gani?....Kujichagulia!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! I am sooo excited! Thank you for the awesome prize!!!
