Checking in on my 2013 goals and making a list for 2014.
In 2013 I wanted to:
1. Finish 3 quilts- I started them, does that count? I have one top sewn together and two in strips.. Hoping to finish them in the next week, so that's pretty close

In 2014 I want to WORK.
I have become lazy in a few areas, ideals that really are important to me have gone to the wayside to make room for a lot of clutter- emotional, physical, etc. This year I want to really focus on being responsible and organizing my crazy brain to accomplish a few things I need in my life. Sound very esoteric and undefined, but I swear, I am going somewhere with this.
I want to WORK on my finances. I used to be really strict about making a budget and paying all my bills on time. I even made a point to pay off my car loan, student loans and other debts a few years ago. This year, I am going to set a monthly budget AND make room to put some in my savings. For my next trip (see 2013 goal #2)
I want to WORK on my fitness. I dabble in working out, taking long, lazy breaks. I am soon going to give up my gym membership for money reasons, but I want to find an activity I will enjoy and...umm, do it! lol
I want to WORK on my blogs. I have this space and another that I started last year. By start I mean set up, posted a few times, then......stress overtook me and I just wasn't feeling inspired. I would really like to turn these spaces into a place for growth (both financially and career), so I am going to WORK .

Lastly, I really enjoyed my little list from 2013, so I am going to come up with 14 things to do over the next year. Not work, but fun! Goal setting is something I am not great at, and this year I really liked having a list of things I wanted to cross of over the year.
So, here's to a fantastic new year, my friends! Please, please, tell me one thing you plan to do this new year!
Later,
Michelle
