Amazing plans for 2014!

One of my favourite activities to do from Leonie Dawson's Amazing Biz and Life Workbooks is to write a list of 100 things to do this year...



I just love it...

Last year's list can be seen HERE.  I only managed to fulfil 21 of the things I set out to do but really, I don't think that effort was half bad!

I achieved the following:

  1. Climbed 1103 stairs in the Step up for MS challenge
  2. Raised $1145 dollars for the MS Society of WA
  3. Tried yoga and fell in love
  4. Visited my friend Coralie at Rainbow Farm and had family photographs taken
  5. Visited my Nana
  6. Told my Nana I loved her
  7. Fell in love with belly dancing
  8. Bought myself a bicycle
  9. Dyed my hair black, purple and pink
  10. Started using FaceTime to make video calls 
  11. Bought new pillows (but need new ones again - they weren't so great! LOL)
  12. Expanded my music library a little
  13. Started drawing and shared my work with a couple of people
  14. Completed my training at Lifeline and am now a Telephone Crisis Supporter
  15. Started a public blog
  16. Consciously asserted myself
  17. Volunteered at the kids school a little
  18. Went swimming with the kids
  19. Got dressed up and went for drinks with the girls twice
  20. Tried my first green smoothie... Not as offensive as it looked!
  21. Got my tooth fixed

What I didn't achieve last year, I either rolled into this year's list or scrapped altogether.  My theory is that some weren't getting done because they just don't light me up now.

But I love this exercise that much that I kinda went a little overboard.  I have more than 100 and I categorised them so they are easier to find and mark off when I achieve them!

So... I give you... MY LIST FOR 2014!
