How I did it
How to walk, bicycle, and use public transportation
It took me
3 days
It made me
exhausted!

How I did it: I moved to Boston where you really don't even need a car. A big change from Southern California. My body aches from so much walking, but it feels good too. Read how I did it…

How to save ten percent of my income.
It took me
2 months
It made me

How I did it: Don't have to think about it, so it isn't really missed.  Then, when I remember the little chunk of money that I put away, it makes me smile.  Right on track. Read how I did it…

How to have a good relationship with my mom
It took me
24 years
It made me
peaceful

How I did it: I stepped away from the situation.  I refused to be wrapped up in whatever drama was taking place.  I lived my life and allowed her to live hers.  We kept our distance for a very, very long time.  Eventually, we spoke briefly about it and that was that.  She is who she is, and I am who I am, and we're related.  I love her for who she is and just as she is.  I don't expect anymore than that from her. … Read how I did it…

Pay off all my debt
Untitled 1 week ago

Although at this very moment I feel behind a bit, since moving this “thing” has been evolving swimmingly. Many small, annoying debts have found themselves away, and the big ones (for the most part) seem manageable. The goal is to be rid of this completely in 5 years (by the time I’m 30), while still saving what I can. I realize that I never know what is going to happen next. I never know what crazy idea I will come up with. All I can do is be prepared for whatever nuttiness I come up with. This revelation was one of the most amazing and important I’ve had this year.

Rosetta Stone has been getting high marks from people I know who have used it. Food for thought.
