There are a few places that you work that don't feel like work. They feel more like a second home. I have been so blessed to work in several places that have been that loving second home. Bethany is a home for me and I hope to continue to live out my life's purpose there.
2. Have my graduate thesis in the final stages and ready for review in January 2011.
**Well I won't know what January brings. However I can say that I have been making a significant amount of progress and plan on continuing that through the rest of the year. So there is hope for completion before my trip to Scotland in the summer!
3.
I have a car note (yipppeee) and I have college loans to pay off but for the most part my financial picture is 100 times better than it has ever been before and it is only getting better!
4. Obtain health insurance and manage my short and long term health
Hmmmmm...this is much harder than it should be.
5. To make a
I began to make great strides in this before July and August hit me blindsided. I went back to my old comfortable ways. I hope to get back on track very soon as I have a plan to board in July and I cannot do it in the current shape I am in!
6.
I went through CASA training but I was self absorbed and unaware and dropped that ball. I wasn't ready. I'm waiting until I'm ready before I try again.
7. Develop a photography portfolio
Ahhhhh...I need to do this more. Nicer weather and cooler temps will very likely assist in this.
8. Speak to small/large groups at least 3 times
I have spoken enough....for now. Waiting to line up my ducks before I crack the whip again for a while.
9. Begin advocating for Early Childhood Education awareness in Katy, TX
(4 months ago)***Well, this is not really relevant anymore. I am working towards building my reputation where I am. It may be a few years before I can honestly say I'm actively making a difference as it is a more competitive market where I am. However; I am working on it!
10. Continually work through my issues with social anxiety.
(4 months ago) ***I think this will be ongoing for the rest of my life. I don't think there will ever be a time when I won't think about it first. However; I do feel I have made significant steps this year so far!
11. Host at least 2 Pampered Chef parties a month
**This just hasn't been a priority at all. I am not sure that it is what I want or need to do anymore. Although it is nice to have the discounts ;) I'm letting this one sit for a minute.
12. Sing at a karaoke bar
Maybe this is where I need to be next weekend on my birthday! LOL
13. Go on a first date (I have not been on a first date since 1997)
I had not one but two dates lined up for my birthday but unfortunately we lost Dave on July 19th to a tragic accident during training and SAC has not been heard from since. I lost them both and I'm just not ready to let anybody else near my heart right now. So...I'll have to enter my 30s single and strong.
14. Spend a weekend at the Beach
I have big plans for this...but I'm not revealing any secrets yet!
15. Go dancing
I should just break down and go to Mo's after I leave the Karaoke bar next weekend! LOL I have NO idea how to dance though...so that is the first problem!
I can be a real bitch sometimes, but I have my moments....at least once a day!
(4 months ago) *Ironically, I have NEVER been one to win anything and the last few conferences I have been at I have won the door prize! How funny...can we say it is all in the expectation!
19. Acquire 3 new skills
**This is harder than you would think!
20.
I LOVE MY PRIUS!
21.
I moved into the new apartment a month ago and although it is taking some time to be "home" I do have things hanging on the walls and I do feel safer and more respected where I am now. I miss "home" and I will for a long time. I lived in the Beechview house for 4 years and made amazing memories there, but my life is moving forward again and I will be okay.
