Dreams Turning Into Reality

I have declared this year as the year to betterment for myself and this includes ALL areas of my life.  For a little extra incentive, I started creating a dream board last year to display all the things I want or have dreamed of.  Some are little things such as the iPad and a Canon SLR camera, while others are a BMW, coffee shop, trips, and more. 

Going back to the description I gave in my blog header "about me", that this blog would be an eclectic array of postings based on the way I am....well it is true.  I have always hated creating goals and objectives for any job I had, I am not a goal setter in my own life, and quite frankly I just don't like tying myself down to writing a goal.  Pretty scary considering I run my own business and have children!  My theory is to have flexibility so one can change their mind....a written goal does not allow for any change unless you want to fail that goal....or at least in my mind. 

As I get older, I continue to look at those around me with goals, and I am beginning to see the pattern of goal setting being success setting (that is my own terminology for it).  Considering I really want those things on my dream board, and I am not getting any younger, I have decided this needs to be the year I begin to set goals...make a plan.  There are so many key areas in my life that need to get better -- there is my business (which to my surprise did pretty well this last year I found after I ran a profit and loss statement yesterday), my family, my relationship with my husband, friendships, and me.

So here is to starting my journey into 2011 on the best foot ever.  I am armed with new books and things I need to make me a healthier, better person (kind of ironic purchasing things to make a better me when not spending is on my list not to do).  I guarantee this will be a bumpy ride, but my hope is to look back at the end of this year and find a changed person for the better.
