A couple of years ago I wrote a post that included a partial list of things that I want to do – a kind of bucket list. After celebrating a birthday and thinking about the impending “big” birthday that’s only a couple of years away, I’ve been thinking about that list and what I want to…
Goals
March Goals
It’s hard to believe it’s already March (especially with this weather)! My goal for February was to continue to get organized and establish some new habits to stay that way. While I wasn’t as focused on that goal as I would have like to have been, I did ok. As part of the cleanse I’m…
The Great Shopping Experiment: January Results
In December, I shared my intention for spending in 2014, focussing on my trouble-areas, books and clothes. I intend to purchase no more than six items of clothing (including handbags and shoes, but not scarves, socks, and tights). This also does not include any direct replacements of any items I already have. For books, I…
Progress
via Grounded on the Daily It’s been three weeks since my birthday and my declaration about my goals for the year. So how am I doing? Okay. I’m doing better with some things than others. I have been trying to embrace the discomfort and take one step each day. I have developed a habit of…
2013 Resolutions: Month Two
Two months into 2013 already! I think time really does go by faster every year. Here’s an update on some of my resolutions: Run 500 Miles – According to Runkeeper, I ran 18.92 miles in February – a few miles less than January, which was a few less than December. I’m at almost 50 miles for the…
Under Construction
As you can see, I did a little work around here this weekend. I was able to import all of the content from my Leap of Faith blog and began making some changes to the look. This is just a starting point; I’m still working on a new design for the site. One thing…
Leap of Faith: A Progress Report
Image Spark It’s been a little over two years since I learned that I was losing my full-time job and decided to take my leap of faith. These last couple of years have been a time of major change for me. I lost the job that I’d had for ten years; my parents moved out…
2013 Resolutions: An Update
It’s hard to believe we’re already a month into 2013. I made a few resolutions for the year and thought it might help hold me accountable if I check in here occasionally with an update, so here goes: Learn to play the ukelele – I wasn’t home much in January and didn’t spend any time on…
Moving Foward
I have been blessed, or cursed, with an interest in nearly everything. The problem with this is that it’s hard to focus on the task at hand. I am always thinking about the next project. There are so many business and personal projects on my plate that I often feel like I don’t get…
Shopping with Rewards
As I mentioned in my New Year’s post, I am aiming to take advantage of various points systems to purchase stuff that’s not a need. I haven’t started the year very well. I’ve already purchased several items that aren’t must-haves. It’s so hard to draw the line. I’ve been thinkings about changing out my plastic…
