Last year, ok it was a couple a weeks ago, I bought the Leonie Dawson’s Shining Year workbooks and one of the things she asks you to do is set out 100 goals for yourself for the coming year. This was really daunting for me, because I was thinking 100 seriously? For real? But as I’m lying in bed, I started to break it down. I’ve already had several people set me challenges, I’ve already booked myself into different courses and events, so why not use that as a starting point. And then I thought, why not break it down into groups of 10, so as this post takes shape, so will my goals!
