Now is no time to attack goals...

But it is a good time for dreaming of them & making plans for them. There are a lot of things I can just put on my list-- things that are easy to cross off or things that would be interesting to tell a story about later. But that's not the point. The point of making a list like this is to take who I am & making a life about that. You feeling me?

I was thinking about my goals as a cook. It doesn't seem helpful to me to just know how to cook a bunch of stuff or have a lot of random ethnic foods I've made from scratch. My goal for cooking is that I want cooking to be organic, part of who I am. I want to know how to make breads off the top of my head and to take what I see in my cupboards and make something creative out of it. I want to be covered in flour and cook from the heart. Not sure what this means for a goal, but I'm developing.

I am hoping to attack this goal this summer. After all, i will need a physical fitness goal to take back ownership of my body once this baby girl is born! Maybe on the way to or fro, I'll also get to take the Grand Canyon. Now that would be an awesome trip!!

Some of my goals are unspecific for a reason. I need to refine them and figure out exactly what I mean/ want.

I've started to read "Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey. This will help me be empowered to attack a few of my goals-- to pay off car & to become debt free (student loans STINK!). I heard Dave rocks and I am excited about the book.

Time to cease the day!! Until later.
