Sounds like a goal that will benefit your whole family, Lori! I think it might also be an example of a goal that sounds easier than it actually is to implement! I love your idea of making it a family day, with touring a DC site too. Sounds like lots of fun. Good luck!

As a single individual I am fortunate to live close to parents, brothers, sisters & nieces; but it seems we only get the entire family together for holidays. To accomplish a monthly gathering I will offering 3 options at the start of each month through an email thread where we all communicate. Once a date is selected (by majority rule), I will provide a breakfast at my home and select an accessible (DC tourist) site for us to visit together : )

Wow, Ellen, what an exciting goal! I really do with you all the best. Even with all of those hoops you have to jump through, you have a great adventure ahead! Please keep me posted on how 2015 ends for you!

In order to do this, I will complete adoption paperwork including financial and health screening and participate in homestudy process. I will find a lawyer to petition the court for guardianship. I will attend court proceedings and complete all court paperwork.

Sounds like you have a great long-term outcome and short-term goals, Barbara! I like how you are rewarding yourself by easing up on the guilty feelings too! 🙂

Great goal, Kristen! It IS hard to break bad habits but hopefully it’ll be much easier with a goal. Don’t they say it takes 10 days to establish a new habit? I wonder if it takes as long to break one? Good luck this year!

My goal is to be more productive when I get home from work or on weekends. I will either workout, write in my journal, and or/make a healthy dinner 3 times a week by June 2015. That way I won’t feel guilty for watching a little too much television when I get home… 🙂

I’ve invested in quality skincare products, I’m making a daily (do-able) routine for skincare, and working on not touching my face. This is especially important when I’m at my desk doing contact notes, as I tend to touch my face a lot out of habit. I know that my outcome will be achieved when I have gone an entire month keeping up my skincare routine (6/7 days at least). It sure is hard to break bad habits! I guess that’s why it’s important to establish good habits from the beginning 🙂
