How I did it
How to work less
It took me
1 year
It made me

How I did it: This goal isn't entirely accomplished.  I still work too much at this particular job, even though it's only 4 days a week. At least it's not 5 and that's an accomplishment.   Read how I did it…

How to go to Harlem
It took me
4 months
It made me

How I did it: We went to the cathedral of St. John the Divine for a personal special occasion.  Sat together, meditated, lit a candle and prayed.  It was part of an entirely different goal but it got me to Harlem. This is an amazing church. Read how I did it…
