101 in 1001, stolen post

I wrote these goals in November 2007 when I was pregnant and not sure if I wanted to tell the whole world wide web (AKA I was in denial re: pregnancy). Anyway, goals are to be shouted from the mountain tops and thus, you will fulfill them (at least that's how it works for me). So I give you... my goals, in life, love, business and baby... all there for me to live up too. What's neat is that I haven't read them since I wrote them in November and now I'm going to make them part of my blog much like photographers Melissa Jill and Jessica Claire have. When I am at a loss for a post, I'm going to do one on a goal I've completed. I need to catch up on these...
P.S. those highlighted in yellow are completed and will be blogged eventually with photos... the red one is impossible now, I didn't complete it, probably because I didn't post these goals :( Anyway, it was interesting to read these after not looking at them since November. I realized that I work towards my goals (slowly) without posting them. It will be interesting to see if I motor through more of them now that the WWW knows. **side note** when I started these, I thought, "this is going to take forever to write 101 goals." I think it took me 15 minutes... they just kept coming to me in no particular order... so TRY IT. It's inspiring.
