One of my favorite quotes is…..
“You are the same today that you are going to be five years from now except for two things: the people with whom you associate and the books you read”
On Day #56 of my 2010 Goal Plan, I made a commitment to read one book each month from beginning to end.
This month’s book is, “Release Your Brilliance: The 4 Steps to Transforming Your Life and Revealing Your Genius to the World” By Simon T. Bailey.
I’m excited about reading this book. I emailed the author and he actually emailed me back with a response that claimed his book will change my life… we will see.

My goal is to learn one new word everyday on Dictionary.com. This is something I’ve been doing on and off for several years, but this time I have a new plan of action. I plan to print them out each day and post them on the refrigerator for the entire family. I will also have the word of the day sent to my phone, while doing our daily morning exercise. This will allow me to read it out loud during our walking time. We may not learn 365 words by the end of this year, but at least 263 new words will be progressive this year if we stay on track.
Today’s word
neologism \nee-OLL-uh-jiz-um\ , noun;
