Happy New Year! 2012

Happy New Year, everyone!

Instead of doing a year by year resolutions list, a few years ago I put together a 30 before 30 list.  I realized over the years, I kept switching them out as I crossed out each goal, which in turn, made me feel like I accomplished nothing. This year, I merged my old list with current goals that I have.  It’s my last year to really get these in!

  2. Become an integral part of a non-profit using my skill-set
