Goals for 2010

2010 Goals. I have been setting goals now for over 10 years and often, although it is a little scary putting out 'there' posting as personal as this to the world, it motivates me to keep my commitments. So, that said, here it is, what is important for me to create, enjoy, do, and become in this new year - 2010. Deb.

Carolyn, of course I remember you! Michelle's mum!
So glad you are happy in your new location. Ambleside is beautiful, was walking there with a friend a few weeks back. I think we are FB friends also. :) Take care, Deb
