Happy New Years!
X-posted to mission101
I'm wishing a joyous, abundant, and blessed 2008 for you all! Instead of a New Years resolution post, I've decided that this would be a good time to update everyone on my 101 goals in 1001 days project. My last update on that was in July, and I've accomplished a few things since then.
The point of Mission101 is to complete a list of 101 preset goals in 1001 days. For me, that means:
Start date: Saturday, September 2, 2006
Ending date: Saturday, May 30, 2009
15 / 101: 15% done!
As of my July 6 update, I had 12 items successfully accomplished and 15 in progress. That's changed and shifted a bit as I lapsed on some things and completed others, but I'm still plucking along. I have only successfully completed two more, but I am further along on some other goals - and the reading list. (Note to people who think it's a good idea to read 101 books in 1001 days: It's a lofty goal. Have some magazine-to-'book' conversion system to help yourself out and not waste quality reading time on goal-less magazines/reader's digests/newspapers). I hope to post a book list someday soon.
Here's the scoop. The new progress is in bold.

I have more exciting goals scheduled to start in the New Year.
Incidental Stuff I'm Pleased With: 11
1. Culled (still culling, actually) mine and the girls' clothes, their toys, my books.
2. Got rid of several boxes of things on Freecycle.
3. Got a new computer
4. Took Josh to the Biltmore House. He may be the only Asheville local who'd never been.
5. In the process of starting my own Reiki School. More on that later.
6. Done several Flash Challenges, though not for six consecutive weeks. :(
7. Made some more new friends via NaNo group and Coffee Meet-Up.
8.Made contact with long-lost, much-missed friend. Even if he disappeared again.
9. Got engaged. :D
10. Exciting new amulet changes. Since I first shared my amulet (also in July, so I can't speak for the whole year), I have gained four new items. Four items also left me for new homes (one of which was one of the new items, another was more of a switcheroo, and only one that I actually knew that it would eventually leave me and who I was holding it for). Four and four. I've mentioned many times that four is my sacred number. Woot!
11. Rejoined Unity's Prayer Chaplain program, after a three year hiatus.
That's it! Hopefully I can stick with it and have even more successes to report next time, probably more often than every six months.
