I never went the fiction route but do know that the practice of noticing and writing down ideas was helpful so thanks, I'll start doing it again.

Brilliant, and certainly great for helping to change focus. :) "What if it works out exactly like I envisioned -- or better?!!" Love it - thank you!

So inspiring. I've been living in stalemate for the past few years. Trying new things now (slowly) and it is giving me new inspiration. I've listed several items on my vision board that I want for this year. Working towards that now. Loved the short video. So inspiring. I've been living in stalemate for the past few years.

Been needing a good book to read lately, sounds like this one will fit the bill perfectly! :) Sounds like a great book, Sally! :) Thanks for mentioning it – I just went online and placed a hold on it at my local library so I can pick it up later.

I have been the same way - had so many goals, dreams, plans for this new year, determined to do things differently. And I HAVE done things differently, but I tend to get discouraged about what I HAVEN'T done instead of celebrating what I HAVE done.<br><br>So here's to the steps that we HAVE accomplished!!!! Let's celebrate that moving forward and continue to move forward one step at a time! :)<br><br>Glad to be on this journey with you - and thank you for sharing yourself in this tribe! I always enjoy reading your comments. ;) Sally, I completely resonate with you on the disappointment about uncompleted steps.

It's been really easy to get caught up in the day to day junk that over time leads to stagnation. I'm doing this challenge and just started Kim DeYoung's Get It Done class to give myself a kick in the pants I need to break it. My project for the Get it Done series is to start the blog I've been putting off for 2 years. Writing has been very important to me and I let it die on the vine to care for kids or clients or whatever detail made it an easy excuse to put off. I have rediscovered writing in my journal, which has been a great way to note ideas, doodle and deal with some issues that I allowed myself to wallow in. Yoga and dance classes are helpful to stir up creative energy, though I've been home with a sick kid so much between October and now that I'm not going as much as I'd like to. Folding laundry with the iPod blaring (dancing wildly) is also a fun way to shake off the blahs.<br><br>As for my bucket list this year ... get my jaw surgery done once and for all (will take 2 blog posts to explain), take a stand up comedy class and learn CSS (I trained in print and fudged my way w/ web design).

As for my bucket list this year … get my jaw surgery done once and for all (will take 2 blog posts to explain), take a stand up comedy class and learn CSS (I trained in print and fudged my way w/ web design).
