Happy New Year!!!
On his blog, Jon Acuff challenged everyone to set goals to finish for the year. Comment, or tweet with the hashtag #FinishYear to share your progress. One thing he said really resinated with me was: “Fear always tries to isolate you when you go on a new adventure, and dreaming is best played as a team sport.”
I think this is one of the reasons I love to dream with Jason. I feel when we dream together and combine our goals, we have a unifed outlook and can hold each other accountable. I love the idea of us accomplishing things together, walking through each high and low of the year, but at the end of it all, we will be able to say…”We finished _____________”
I will admit it is VERY vulnerable to put out there what I want to finish this year. I feel like if I put it out there, then it is real. It is something that I will have to follow through on.
So, here is what I am committing to finishing this year:
1.) I will journal at least 4 days a week, and I will complete three bible study courses this year.
2.) I will finish Couch to 5K to jump start my running again.
3.) I want to run at least two 5Ks this year (I really want to do between 3-5 and one half marathon next November, but I am committed to finish some 5Ks).
4.) Borrowing one from Jon: I want to empty a box of thank you notes. I am so thankful for so many people, and I want be better at telling them how precious they are to me. There isn’t anything more wonderful than a handwritten note.
5.) I will finish 6 non-fiction books and 6 fictions books (one a month)
6.) I will set a 5 year buisness goal. These goals will be realistic and written down. This way, I can look at the present and see what I will need to do to get me to the future that I dream of having.
7.) I will go on a road trip to somewhere new that I have never explored before.
8.) I will create a 2012 memory book of personal pictures to remember each month and why it is so precious to me.
What will you finish this year? I can’t wait to hear, and I look forward to helping you along in your journey! See you down the road!
enjoy!
My sister cracks me up! She and Dub are expecting a little girl at the end of June! We are elated and can not wait to meet little Ellyce Margaret. Sister had a shower this weekend (pictures in the next post) and so we traveled out to lubbock to shower her with goodies. While I was there, I told her let’s take some shots of that baby belly!
