The 4 Goals Challenge is about goals that you want/will accomplish before 2011. It's important to pick goals that are personal, important, something realistic and simple. By simple, I mean choose real goals... not, 'I want to travel the whole world by 2011'! But don't choose result-oriented goals. For example, in Elsie's words, "Instead of saying 'lose 10 pounds' choose something like, 'eat fresh fruits and vegtables everyday'!" It can be anything that you, yourself think is important and will ultimately make your life healthier and happier! Then, when you have accomplished these 4 Goals, reward yourself! Your reward can be whatever you feel is right for you! *Keep reading to find out how to particiapate!* These are my goals:
1. Spend more time with my husband and friends! It seems as though I might spend a lot of time with my hubby, but realistically... we are crazy busy all the time! Whether it be we're working (we usually work opposite hours of the day), or the hubby has to run here and there, or me working on starting up my own business. I am constantly sewing nowadays and sometimes you do need that break once in awhile to spend time with eachother. I don't mean sitting on the couch, staring at a TV either. I mean, really spend some quality time together! Same with my friends! I feel like we're gradually slipping away from eachother. So it's my goal to set aside some time each week or so to get together with my girls!
2. Work hard and get my business up and running. This is a goal that I know for sure will be in the distant future. However, I would like to really build up my inventory and focus directly on my work before 2011. It'll be tough I'm sure, but I am ready and willing! I also think that I've kind of talked my sister, Christi, into going into business together! Purses/accessories/jewelry... what more could a girl ask for?! :)
3. Go some place I've never been. Now that summer is unfortunately coming to an end, this goal may be a little tough to work with. I am convinced however, that I will go some place I have never, ever been. Whether it be with my husband or friends... or both, I want to be free for one days' time! Leave all my worries and stresses behind me! Just. One. Day.
4. Get into drawing more. I've never actually considered myself an artist of this sort, but I do like to draw! Doesn't matter to me if it looks good to others or not. All that matters is how that drawing makes me feel! Above is a drawing I did of my husband and I on our wedding day! :) I did pretty good with that one!What are your goals? I'm going to go ahead and twist this challenge a little bit. The rules are the same... however, if you would like to participate**... I want to hear your 4 Simple Goals! Leave a comment by clicking below and tell me your goals and why it's important for you to accomplish these. I'll read all of them and pick the winner at random (with the hubby's help of course)! The winner will receive a handbag that will be revealed later this week! So keep tabs on my blog to find out! Tell all your friends! :)

1.Get my drivers license. I have tried several times and did not pass, plus challenges stood in my way causing me to give up. So next time I go I just have to be more positive and I will get it.
ReplyDelete2.Go Back to school. I did not know what I wanted to do after high school, so I just worked a different places. When my folks got their beagle it became clear what I wanted to do.She is small dog and giving her baths is fun for me, so dog grooming is what I see myself doing in the near future.
3. Look for a different job. This will be the most challenging for me since there is not a lot of places hiring and leaving my friends who are more like family at work will be hard. In order to accomplish goal #2 I have to get a job with different hours since the school i have asked my dogs groomer about is from 9am -3pm.
4. Try to get back in contact with friends I haven't seen of talked to in years. It is hard to keep in contact with friends after high school with everybody getting jobs or going away for school, but I do want to try my best to get back into contact with them even if its only for coffee or something. :-)
Hey tray the first one was mine. It was being weird when I tried to put my name in at first.

2.Make more jewelery so we can set up shop-eventually
