If I Write It Down I Will Make It Happen.......



Over the last few years I have listened to numerous speakers and read countless articles on the art of goal setting and was determined to take it on board but days and nights of January would turn into Febuary and I would be no nearer my first goal. So in my bid to make this year a journey of excitement and discovery I am setting my goals. I have decided to do mine quarterly.

Goal setting is definately a buzz word this January and there are numerous sites dedicated to it and Pinterest is full of helpful hints and tips:- 


So this is why my goals haven't worked in the past, I don't think winning the lottery is 'SMART'!


In years gone by I rarly had a plan either!!! So I was just living on cloud 9 waiting for things to happen!!!

So here it is- the revealing of my first set of quarterly goals to complete by 31st March:-

Start exercising again ( find and research the most effective and sustainable way.

Cook a new dish every week.

Organise my business and personal papers (my study is full of organised piles of papers)

Print photographs of Gracie and create a memory box/book.

I will be updating you on their progress watch this blog.......

The big 40 here I come.....





As I drank my glass of generic prosseco to welcome in 2014 I pondered on how I could make this year special and remember the last year of my 30's! I had some ideas-
Tattoo??- I faint when I give blood so maybe not.
Banner on the roundabout - I think that will happen anyway on the day.
A lavish holiday - sadly I don't think I will have the funds however I do think I will have a new bathroom!!!

Then as I poured my second glass, Why don't I just blog about my journey to 40! Every year is full of mini adventures which you usually haven't planned!!! I am sure this year will be no exception and who needs an exotic get away?
