I Resolve 2013

I am trying to be more intentional about my goal setting.  I am slowly learning the power of breaking down big goals into smaller more objective one’s to achieve greater success. Also, the importance of having my goals organized in a systematic fashion.   In years past, my new year’s resolutions would include giving something up (like soda) and while that did take a tremendous amount of will power for me, there is something to be said about actively setting out to accomplish a task and following through with it.  This year my main resolution is to read 22 books.  I was going to read 24 books but I thought I needed some margin, for the craziness of life.  So basically, I will be reading two books a month, expect for August and December, those months I will read only one book. Thanks to the friends and family who helped me compile my list.  I am excited to dig into some uncharted territories, as I have never even heard of some of these titles.
