Finishing up a 101 course this week, and I consider this goal complete for my intentions. I wasn’t going to try to become fluent, just get a good feel for the language. I realized I really need to let other languages go for a bit while I try to become more fluent in French, so perhaps one day I’ll go for number 3 fluency in this one, or Portuguese.. we’ll see! Beautiful, fun language, but not the time in my life to continue.

How I did it: Well we didn't have anything to write on, so we said our wishes and let the balloons go. They got stuck in a tree, but I know my wish will come true anyway. =) Read how I did it…
This is a goal I’ve had in mind for a long, long time. Last night, I thought it might actually happen. The full moon and the shapes of the fast-moving clouds were incredible, and Jupiter was shining so brightly I hardly noticed any stars. I had been on an adventure with a friend and we returned to a field we had walked on earlier. We laid down and probably could have fallen asleep, as content with the world and the moment as we were, but we didn’t. I’m certain one day we will fall asleep out there in the grass on a different night and I can happily know I’ve finally experienced this. We did fall asleep together later, sharing a beanbag and the floor.. so close. haha
I don’t know that it’s “better” or “equal” but my petitioning experience for medical marijuana legalization in New York state I felt was comparable and fulfilling. It was a clear day and we were friendly. Some people were not, but others really felt compassion and motivated to consider the issue and the people it would help. What a fabulous experience.. I would recommend any engagement with those who don’t know, those who don’t care, and those who really do feel as strongly as you about an issue that stirs you up and brings you together for positive change.
