52 Weeks Project

Week 5: 52 Lists Project

Happy Monday to you! It’s list time again. I’m really enjoying reading your comments. Please keep it up!

February is my birthday month, woohoo, so I think this week’s list is quite a fitting way to start the month.

Week 5: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Okay, let’s start with the basics:

I’ll be 43, my husband will be 58, our kids will be 21, 18 and 14.

  1. Would love for my husband sell his company and to be retired. That is our agreement; he takes care of me now and I take care of him later. (So please go forth and buy books! LOL)
  2. Hopefully my two oldest kids will be in college or thinking of it. (Another reason to buy my books- send my kids to school.)
  3. I’ll be trying really hard to get the legal driving age moved to 18, before my son can turn 16.
  4. My writing income would be more than sufficient to take care of my family.
  5. I’d love to have some of my traveling bucket-list checked off. I’m sure there’s a week where we will talk about that.
  6. My mother will be 73 and I’d like to see her still zooming around like she does now.
  7. By then, I would like to be living on new property, full of trees and in the middle of nowhere.
  8. Y&R will have many clients- publishing and PR, and will boast of some amazing authors.

The book suggests thinking of things you’re doing right now to make these goals happen. Honestly, I think most of my goals are on course. I’m working my rear-end off and the fruits of that labor will always grow.

Key to success
The key to success is following God’s guidance.

I have this sign on my desk where I can look at it every day. This is the foundation of my decision making and as long as I remember to seek guidance in everything I do, I can’t go wrong- even if my life looks nothing like this in 10 years!

Your turn! And…GO!
