Your Things

Do you have something you want to achieve but just can’t seem to get there?

I have found that by writing down my goals and dreams then asking for that help and support makes it possible for me to achieve them. So go ahead, comment below on what you want to achieve and don’t forget to put the date.

I’ll post them here on this page for you. And when you have accomplished them, comment again and I’ll cross them off your list.

Oh, don’t forget to tell us what you felt when you achieved that goal.

And here’s some things that some of my friends have told me that they want to achieve:

Betsy Gray Talbot: Hmmm, I should have started this last year since my 40th is in just a few months. I’d love to finally finish the book I started

Sylvia Taylor: Trapeze class, para-gliding, and sky diving! one down, two to go!!

Diane Easley: Hey gang, I just told a friend Betsy Moore that I wanted to learn how to say I love you in at least 60 languages by December 31 2010 want to help me? Name a language and let me know how to say I love you here. Bonus points for pronunciation tips :-)

Margit Rosal Crane:  I want to be able to hike again. and climb the wall at REI. Do you know what happens when you post it on your wall? I’ll tell you: Apparently I’m doing this at the end of August, 2010. Yikes.

  1. Holy cow – I’m signed up for Trapeze and will be doing it in September! That might be true for sky-diving as well… scary-exciting! Do I add new ones?? I have been waiting/wanting to do a spiritual retreat to Hawaii for the last 3 years… that’s next!

    Sylvia, I’m signed up to do the Trapeze in August. I’m excited about that one. I think sky diving will have to wait until next year for me. As for adding new ones, just comment and I’ll add it on for you. But don’t forget the date! Especially for Hawaii.

    Betsy, I’m Debb Whitlock’s friend and I met you at Meet Plan Go……..just came upon your blog and what a fabulous idea! I have been thinking about what things I want to do and didn’t have a good way to put them down and look at them. I have 4 years until my 60th birthday and I came across an article in a travel magazine about an Italian Cooking class in southern Italy that sounds wonderful, and I’ve pegged it as my 60th birthday present to myself! I’m starting on my 60 by 60 list right now. Good luck with the Finair job!

      Marcia, thank you so much! And yes, I remember you.
      OMG, just last night I was looking at this website about traveling slowly in Italy and I thought how cool that it also has cooking classes attached to it. I even put the website in my favorites as an one day maybe to do. http://www.goslowtravel.se/english/
      Just so you know, it took me awhile to go public with my idea and list even though I had been thinking about it for a couple of years. I know I wasn’t ready to go public with it earlier. But I sometimes wished I had started this earlier as it has had such an impact on my life and I’ve only been “public” for a couple of months. I think even doing a warm-up or even putting out there what I want to accomplish each year would have been great. So now I’m even thinking about continuing this in some type of form afterward I turn 60.
      I’d love to hear how you are doing with your list and what you’ve come up with.
      Please keep in touch!
