Goals and Projects for 2014

I'm cooking up a few projects and setting some personal goals for myself this year. Hopefully, I'll get them done before 2014 ends. Aside from the things I want to do or experiences I want to try, which I posted on this blog a few hours ago, I really really REALLY still have a LOT on my to-do list. They've been there for ages. (Just proof that I really am a Master Procrastinator!). 

And since it's a brand new year, I thought to myself, what better time to get them all done than now, right?

So here goes my projects and goals for 2014:

Projects:

• #mydayinphotos - take a photo every hour from wake to sleep
• Complete a Photo-A-Day challenge and make a photobook of it
• Watch movies about love for the whole month of February
• Project Life by Becky Higgins
• Watch 1000 movies in 2014
• Read 500 books in 2014
• Project DIY 365 (arts & crafts)
• weekly nail art project
• 25 Recipes to try for 2014
• Scrapbook
• Bucket List Scrapbook
• Memory Box (with labels/tags about the item's history)
• Photobox (with dividers)
• Travel Scrapbook / Travel Journal
• Photobook (travels)
• Photo Collage for my wall
• 100 shirts / 100 shoes

Goals:

• Lose weight
• Complete all required government IDs
• Find a new job
• Travel somewhere I've never been to
• Watch a movie by myself
• Open my personal bank account
• Renew my passport
• Visit the dentist
• Take up dance class
• Study photography
• Be proficient in French
• Be able to speak basic greetings in 15 different languages
• Learn how to cook
• Play the guitar with a certain degree of mastery

There you have it, my projects and goals for this new year. I'm wishing myself luck, and patience, and PERSEVERANCE (I'm gonna need it!) to accomplish this goals I set for myself.

Cheers to a new year!

Goodbye 2013, Hello 2014!

Yep. It's the first day of a new year. Another year given for us to get better, do better... and be better than we were last year. It's another opportunity for us to be who we wanted to be and do the things that we wanted so much to get done and weren't able to do in 2013. Let's all try to follow our dreams while we still can. Remember: "It's never too late to follow your dreams or to dream a new dream."

And while browsing my FB news feed this morning, I came upon this post by someone I know from grade school, and I think this sums up what 2014 should be like for all of us:

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.

So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.

Make your mistakes, next year and forever. Happy New Year everyone!
