Well, so far I’ve come up with an interesting idea (and one that definitely seems to suit me): dual residences. Split my current rent in half and get two smaller places…one place would be close to where I am now, and one would be far away (my getaway pad). Hey, it’s progress.

How I did it: I had been interested in meditation for quite some time and I finally decided to take some action. I found out about a weekend meditation retreat that the Chopra Center was holding in Colorado. I thought that my mother would be interested as well and we both ended up attending. It was an intensive weekend that was full of positivity and insight and by the end of it, we learned the practice of meditation (among other things). Read how I did it…
For some reason, I HATE still photos of myself…yet when any moving camera/camcorder is on, I become completely uninhibited. Weird. Anyway, I need some recent pics. Not a particularly huge goal I guess, but one that I’d like to accomplish nonetheless. Maybe it will even help me get over my fear of still photos.
More difficult than I thought it would be. 43 things, that’s a lot! But I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
