A Very Ambitious 2012

Well... It's official. These puppies are now public.

It has taken me three weeks to settle on some goals for the upcoming year.
Not because I couldn't think of any... but becuase I really am not looking for something casual... I am ready for a serious relationship... the real deal. These goals and me are going steady.

They are legit, and I don't care if you or my parents don't like them....  Becuase we are in love.

Ok... enough of that.

Seriously... Take a gander at what 2012 will bring me... It's pretty scary. 



So.... It's going to be a busy year. I hope I have time to post to the blog...

JUST KIDDING. Now that I have gone public, my only hope is your support as I knock some big things off my list year. I will fee a sense of need to finsish this list, because I know that blogland is watching... And becuase I really really really think that everything planned for this year is meaningful and will help me better contribute to the world.

So let's talk about the big ones...


Run a half marathon - I really don't want to do this. But I do. You know what I mean.

Dedicate Myself to Morning Prayer - This one is really exciting and worth it, but so hard to commit to.
Not Purchase any 1st Hand Clothing - Say what?!? I honestly don't know where this one came from... but I think it's important for me. I am going to have to be way more intentional about shopping, style, and things that I've really taken for granted. My biggest trial will be ... Target. Ugh.

The thing is... I do feel a need to know where my products are coming from, whose making them, what world conditions I am perpetuating by purchasing without knowledge of who made what. But, on the other hand, I feel so overwhelemed and like there is not enough time during the day to stay on top of all of it! So I figure, if I am simply reusing things that have already been purchased and are already in circulation, I am helping out in some way. Baby steps my friends... Baby steps.

Well that's all I am going to dive into for now... Project # 20 is somethign I have purchased off of Amazon and am very excited to share it with you, when it get's here!

TTYL,

  2. Love your blog sweetie. You have also inspired me to make a list of goals - don't know if I will make them publicly but still...

    Question - what is number 14? Give my love to Burley and hugs to you both.

  3. Maddie, I've been praying this week about "fasting" from buying new clothes for a year. I wouldn't say that I've totally committed to it yet, but seeing someone out there who is on the same wavelength is definitely encouraging!
