I did my last review of my big goal for 2010 in July. This review took place at about the half way point of the year and had already seen one revision in my goal for the year. My big annual goal had started out being that I was going run a race in every… Continue reading 2010 in Review
In a quick glance, the three words – goals, aspirations, resolutions – may all look and mean the same to you and to me. This is not the case at all. If you are sitting around trying to figure out what your resolutions for the New Year are going to be, you are probably setting… Continue reading Goals or Aspirations or Resolutions
When you set a long-term goal, how do you tell if you are making progress? Do you break it down into small steps and check those off as you go? I am talking about my running goalS for the year. My first goal, which was set near the end of January, was to run a… Continue reading Goal Adjustment

As I am sitting here today, I am thinking about November. One week from today, I will start NaNoWriMo – National Novel Writing Month. I love to write but have never been able to sustain the 50,000 words that are the goal for NaNoWriMo in a 30 day time period. It is possible that I… Continue reading Dreams are Possible
