Please support me in my quest to become a more well-rounded person with a fulfilling and enriched way of living. This years 2010 resolution is designed to pursue just that cause. Many New Years resolutions die out as soon as the christmas tree gets tossed into the trash heap. This year, I propose to take on a series of 12 30 day challenges, all with the intention of creating a richer, healthier existence for myself. While some goals seem less ambitious than others, these are the pursuits I am interested in completing within this coming year. The ultimate goal being that I carry these challenges into my everyday life throughout 2010 and beyond. Follow along as I blog about my quest. Lets see how far I make it!!!

Proposed Challenges:

JANUARY: Dedicate self to finding full time work (portfolio work and networking)
FEBRUARY: No Soda
MARCH: Exercise
APRIL: Start a new blog I've been thinking about thanks to Peter Ross
MAY: Floss
JUNE: Love Life
JULY: No TV
AUGUST: Meditate
SEPTEMBER: Eat within 100 Miles
OCTOBER: Money Management/debt repayment/savings
NOVEMBER: Read
DECEMBER: Sing

Love, Love, Love


This is Love month!
Carl and I are taking the month of June to prepare for our marital bliss!
Out of respect for Carl's privacy I won't be blogging many details, but I will tell you, kind reader, about our plans.
I researched different "pre-marital" exercises and information on line, checked out some podcasts on itunes, and finally decided to go with my original idea:
Several years ago-while in the midst of previous relationship, I bought a book I heard about from Oprah (my bff) Called "Getting the Love you Want" by Dr. Harville Hendrix
This book was to fix said relationship....It was not a miracle worker...
I did find it, however, to be a very interesting and enlightening book that I have kept all of these years.  And while I feel Carl and I have a very secure and loving relationship, I think the exercises detailed in the book could help us understand and respect each other more, and help to build an even more loving and supportive partnership.
That being said, I did not think Carl would even be interested in doing this, or letting me blog about it, but he proved me wrong by being entirely open.  I am one lucky woman.  
So, Saturday we started with the first of 10 exercises, and it was actually fun!  I look forward to our next "session."  We have decided to do them at our leisure so we may not finish all of the exercises before the end of this month but definitely before our wedding.  I will be giving you updates on how we are doing.

(April update:  Carl and I have taken up tennis once or twice a week and I have been lifting weights a couple days a week too!)

(May update:  I just finished my first container of floss!)
