Just a leaf I’ve taken out of Liz Strauss’ book: The 31-Day Calendar of Blog Post Ideas for January…

Technically, I was supposed to start on January 1, but since I didn’t quite get around to it (blame it on the holiday mood), I’ll start with “Day 3″ and cycle back past the topics I’ve missed a little later.

For January 3, the topic is: “Predictions the 30,000 Foot View… Make a prediction about blogging or about your blog.”

In the flavour of Walt Disney who said, “If you can dream it, you can do it,” I’m predicting that much of what I write in this blog will come into fruition by the end of 2007. This blog is a witness of my journey to attaining my goals.

My goals pertaining to this blog are to:

1. Attain financial independence through my online business and a diversity of investments through real estate and paper assets.
2. Learn another language.
3. Write a book.

These could have easily been my new year’s resolutions as well. Fancy that, I’ve just killed two birds with one stone. Of course, I do have other resolutions under sporting achievements (Figur8) and that of becoming a parent (Baby’s Diary).

Since we’re on the topic of new year’s resolutions, here are the rest:

4. Cultivating a loving and mutually enriching relationship with my son who will be joining our family on January 25 (if all goes according to what the doctor predicted).
5. Continuing the loving relationship I have with my husband in the face of the many changes that await us in the coming year.
6. Maintaining my climbing and running activities as they were before Gavin entered our lives.
