I did better than I thought I would considering all of the life changes this year decided to bring. I recently read an article by Dave Ramsey that stated 67% of the wealthy write down their goals, whereas only 17% of the poor do this.  While I am by no means rich, I at least had to stop and pat myself on the back for a step in the right direction:-).  A girl can dream, right? I'm just kidding. How did you do?  I would love to hear about it!

Happy New Year from Durango, Colorado!

    Oh great list! I can't wait to see what you plan to do this year! I'm going to make a "30 before 30" list this weekend since I turn 30 this year. It's a little tougher since I have a kid and can't just travel willy nilly like my old self. BUT I want to have things to check off. I'm good at lists!
