start 2009 with a BANG! by doing at least one new and fulfilling thing in January, February, and March!

i kissed joe for the first time:)

so i didn’t make it to yoga yet, but i did go to whole foods and bought fakin bacon…i had to try it because the name was awesome. it was actually pretty good. i also got some supplements to try and some new cheeses that were so yummy! but the most important thing i accomplished is that i finally started unpacking the rest of my boxes…from when i moved in six months ago lol. some of these boxes i’ve been carrying around since 2000. it is very fulfilling to finally be doing something with these boxes besides stacking them in a corner and dragging them from apt to apt when i move.

DONE with this goal!

I am pretty happy with all that I have done for January, February, & March!

I hope that these goals will encourage me to do more, be brave, and try new things!

Tomorrow I am going down to Hull for three days to see my family. This might not seem like a big deal but I haven’t been down on my own to stay for ages – as in years – and I will see more people than I have seen in ages and spend more time with them too. This will hopefully be very fulfilling and end my March with a BANG!

Tonight we went out to dinner with family/friend who has health issues, so they don’t get out too often!
It’s kinda hard for them to get around.

But everytime we go out together.
They say let’s do this again soon!

I am going to try to go out to dinner with them again soon!
It makes them happy, even if just for a little bit!

And it makes me feel good too!

Okay I did finally do my March “new and fulfilling” thing.

Today, my bf and I had to go get the car fixed.. so we had the opportunity to experience Portland as a true Portlander.. which is often carless… and so we got to take the Trimet bus for the first time.

It was quite an adventure.. we hopped on the bus and headed down towards Hawthorne to get to our favorite restaurant. We did lots of walking, which was great, because we got to explore Hawthorne more thoroughly than usual.

I got to check out some new stores..some FUN goth stores.. I can’t wait to go back when I have the cash to buy some sexy boots and fun leggings and skirts.. :)

We endured rain, getting splashed BIG time by passing cars and freakish bus people. But it was all very fun, and very fulfilling. Portland kinda took on a new view for me today, and I will do it again, I’m certain!

... it’s time to start thinking about the next new and fulfilling goal

(and yes, there is a team on that goal)

with all of the internet networking connections (43T, Facebook, Twitter, and two blogs) I am starting to see some of the names of people from those sources appear on my customer file (and no, I will not ever never disclose who has bought anything, even the famous ones!)

It really just happened (which is my favourite part of this goal)

Turning from mere responding into being proactive

I have always wanted to be prepared and proactive but had no idea how to get there. Luckily, rough times at work challenged me enough to break through. I had a choice: stay within my comfort zone – which I hated; or face my fears and break down my limitations – which I chose – with a little help of my great boss).

I have gotten to the point in which you know the comfort of being proactive. The comfort means much more than any fear to combat. And I would be scared now to come back to uncomfortable comfort zone I have just quitted!

One thing; how new and fulfilling.

I tried carrot salad!
And I liked it a lot!

I haven’t had carrots in a long time.
I had forgotten how much I liked them!
