Resolutions 2014

I love setting goals, mostly because I love the great satisfaction that it brings me to check them off.  I goal set monthly, weekly and sometimes even daily.  For me, I really intend to do my New Years Resolutions each year.  I refer to my resolutions often and try to only set goals that I feel are obtainable, will help me become a better person and will improve my life or the lives of others.  The most fulfilling goal that I accomplished in 2013 was finishing Volume One of my Grandmother Mary Jane's life history in time for her 95th birthday.  That was a tremendous moment for me to hold the printed book in my hand and reflect on how much work had gone into bringing it about.  

Here are the goals I have set for myself for 2014.  I look forward to seeing how I do!
