Progress Towards my Goals
I wrote about what I’m striving for in 2011 at the beginning of the year.
- Read more. <– Right on track! You can see my book reviews from all the books I’ve read.
- Spend more time in personal reflection (focusing on where I’ve grown and where I can). <–it has been a good month of reflection and direction-finding
- Outreach more with my consulting. <– launched my coaching venture
- Write. <– Finished the first draft … now letting it ferment!
- Paint. <– I have an idea so now I just need to do it
- Take more photos. <– I need to schedule some time to edit some of the latest photos I’ve taken. You can also check out my store for other photos.
- Join a club or recreational sports league. (dodge ball anyone?) <– postponed until the fall
- Cook. <– I’ve slipped on the in-depth cooking, but I try to cook a nice meal over the weekends
- Entertain. <– Will continue to do it with friends
- Ask questions. <– definitely getting better at this one

August just flew by! Seriously … how it is September already? This is the time that I usually begin to assess the goals that I set out and hone in on the ones that I believe I will be able to spend the last 90 days of the year on and scrap the ones that just won’t happen. In my September review, I will document that process and give you an update on the final goals I am pursuing for 2011 and where I am leaning for 2012.
