Well, my birthday is today (October 18th) and that got me thinking. I have never been too good at New Year’s resolutions, but maybe that’s because I’ve been celebrating the wrong year. I think from now on my goals will follow the time span between my birthdays. I have definitely made progress over this past year. It seems as each year goes by my life seems to get a little bit less complicated. I am just beginning to fully embrace the idea that I create my reality and that the Universe is abundant in every way. I am going to take this next year to test this belief by having a positive mind, solidifying goals, taking action where I can, and leaving the rest to the Universe. What is it that always stops me from moving forward? That cursed how. I am going to try this year to focus on my goals and leave the unknown “how” to a Higher Power. 

My goals for my 36th (technically 37th) year are as follows: 

  • Relocate to a beach community
  • Continue earning MFA
  • Complete my first memoir
  • Receive funds to support my writing
  • My son’s successful enrollment in college
  • Create a long-term healthy eating plan
  • Incorporating exercise into my daily routine
  • Make my health a top priority
  • Significantly reducing debt and monthly costs
  • Replace TV time in my family with reading, music, and arts
  • Find alternative ways to earn money rather than traditional 8-5 job
  • Continue my journey towards healing the past
  • Embrace the Law of Attraction consistently
  • Be a more positive/less complaining person
  • Downsize/Simplify
  • Build lasting relationships with others 

I am sure these goals will evolve as I grow and learn and I will update them accordingly. I truly want to make this year my best year ever and am finally willing to do what it takes to make that a reality. Why wait till January when I can start right now?
