Goal setting...

Well, thus ends my delving into my trip to Chicago. Tomorrow I will return to posting my daily photos. A lot will change tomorrow actually. Due to a mass of free time becoming instantly available for the next month, I will be working on "goal-orienting" my process. At this point I have been keeping up with this blog for one month and 2 days, and I already feel like I've grown so much. I've become slightly more comfortable with PhotoShop, I've gained a trust in my writing, I've become more observant of my surroundings, I've taken some risks, I've put myself and my work out there, and most of all, I've been happy. No more subtle, yet suffocating, feelings that something's missing. Therefore, I will be forging ahead in the next month with the following goals:

1. To write everyday. More than this blog, I want to begin work on my three ideas for books, and devote to them the time that they deserve.

2. To read more. I've been reading but not as much as I would like. I am 10 pages shy of finishing Coaching the Artist Within (too bad it was due back to the library today, there goes that 20 cents I worked so hard for) and would like to read more on creativity.

3. To organize my space. I'm a little OCD about my house being in order, and what with my busy schedule, this blog, and my life, I haven't had time to get my new studio and office organized. I feel like doing so will be the ceremonial beginning of a new phase in my life- the realization of a five year old's dream.

I have several other personal goals for the next month, but these are the top priorities. I want to also add a section on my blog that lists all the books I am currently reading that I can update as needed. This way people will have a clue what I'm talking about when I refer to this book or that.

So, here's to the future! I can't wait!



The sky's the limit!!
