After a personally and professionally draining 2008 I let myself off the hook for New Year's Resolutions. 2009 would be the year of relaxing. And it was, thankfully, and my mental to do list was chock full of things like "chill out" and "take a deep breath." By default, when 2010 came around I was sort of enjoying the lack of overarching direction and decided once again to cool it on my normally anal Mission Statement For Life. But after a year and a half, the little list maker inside of me is ready to bring it back. As much as lists do sometimes increase my pressure to accomplish, I have finally admitted to myself that I also thoroughly enjoy the act of accomplishing and have genuinely missed the ability to document, strikethrough, and appreciate my own efforts! So this month I'm getting back to goal-setting, and I hope you will indulge me.
July Goals
