Finding the Balance between saving AND living in the now
In order to have a plan for a better me ... to find balance between saving for the future and living in the now I need to write down a goal. Here it is.

Here goes nothin'...

#3
Once in a Lifetime
Lose weight?...Yep. Simplify my life?...Yep again
Be a better mother to my kids? Yes, that's in there,too.
Clean and organize my house?...Definitely, you should see it now, then again, maybe you shouldn't...

Restoring My Self & My House after a Medical Hiatus
In August of 2006, I was diagnosed as having a rare form of migraine called status migrainosis. This is the month I can begin to pressure the neurologist into making some changes because things just aren’t progressing as I think they should. This is the month!

#5
Who Am I???
A funny thing happens when you start thinking - your mind goes to places and topics and you aren't exactly sure why. I recently began thinking about who I am? The obvious answers: I am a Woman, I am a Wife, I am a Mother, I am a Daughter, I am an Attorney, I am a Christian. But what does all that mean? This month I am going to push myself to fingure out who I am and what I want to be in the future!

#6
Before I Die
Each day this month I am going to answer the following question:
Before I die, I want to . . By the end of March I will have 30 goals for my life and a direction so that I can make purposeful decisions.
Come join me in my discovery of who I am!

Navigating an Emotional Month
In the past few days, we found out that our oldest son has volunteered to go to Iraq with the 2nd Infantry Division and will be leaving on March 26. I have so many feelings about it; from pride to sadness to excrutiating fear. My goals for this month surround this entire situation and all the feelings, challenges and fears that come with it. Thanks for sharing this journey with me....

Hi, I just joined this forum very recently and was wondering what are criterias for "winning"?

I've read some of them and it is sooo hard to pick one.

Thanks for pointing that out, Amy. Hard to believe since I NEVER make mistakes! (just kidding of course ) I can't go in and edit the poll now, but we can just combine the votes for the two. Sorry about that!

I have found the blogs we have been doing both relaxing and giving a new insite into our lives. I hope that after the contest is done we all keep it up! I found myself really thinking more about stuff as I typed it.
