New Year's Goals//Resolutions 2013

Hey Ya'll!
Welcome back to the work week!





 So, what are my goals & resolutions for 2013?

1. Start own Tae Kwon Do school.
2. Create savings that I can fall back on in time of need ($800) & an emergency fund.
3. Get things in order to test for 3^rd dan in 2014.
4. Quit eating fast food (except Taco Bell); and stop eating the food from my work – I consistently get food poisoning, so I’m not quite sure why I even bother to keep eating it.
5.  Clean for 15 minutes a day.
6.  Pay any 2012 + previous debts.
7. Work on life list goals.
8. Be more truthful.
9.  Make my passions my job.
10. Begin to outline and plan the basics of a wedding. 
11. Get my heart & wings tattoo touched up & brightened.

Would you like to explain those?

Yes, yes I would!

the thumbs up to start my own studio.

1.)

I'm ready to host my own class.  I've been an assistant teacher since 2006, and I was cleared to start my own school by my instructor in 2011.  Now all I've to do it find a place to host a class, write up a contract, and get the knitty-gritty figured out.

2.)

Debt & over-spending runs in my immediate family. 

I've been lucky enough to see the pattern in myself & fix it,

& now I'd like to make sure I have means to fall back on if neccesary.

 

4th portion of the 2nd dan black belt test: board breaks!
I let my instructor choose this break for me - a slippery side kick through 2 inches of pine.
Ionia Armory, Mi 2009

3.)

Again, I'm ready: my last test was in 2009 (for my 2nd dan)!

I've had classmates who I use to outrank pass my in rank,

& typically it's the students with bad attitudes.

 

I've the history (I've been studying martial arts since I was 4; a total of 16 years to date) & a better attitude about lower ranking students - color belts AND black belts alike.

 

I want to tip the odds back in the favor of students & teachers with respect for each other, and the best way to do that is by a leading example.

4.)

  Over the years (gosh, that makes me sound old, doesn't it?  Hee hee!) I've established a healthier diet and regimen . . . and my body no longer likes or tolerates fast food: I get sick, a feel awful, or in the case of the food from my place of employment I get food poisoning and starting throwing up.

 

No fun!  So it's time to give it up 'cause that's what's best for me. 

Except Taco Bell, 'cause I love that place.

5.)

 I like my living space clean, but I dislike spending long periods of time cleaning.
So, 15 minutes a day ought to keep the dust mites and spideys away!

6.)
Did you know that your public library could place a "Delinquent" label on your account?

Well, neither did I until this year.

8.)

 Honesty is always the best policy.

9.)
We were put here on this earth to live; and I work to live, not live to work.
My big dream is to work for myself, write for a living, be a life coach, sell my designs//crafts, & do something with fashion & designing.

That's what this blog is, ya'll. 
I value all support, ideas, comments, and constructive critiques - I want to be the best I can be at what I do, and every piece of input can help!

10.)
I'm engaged.
Engaged = marriage = wedding.

If I want a wedding I'll enjoy, it's up to me to plan it!

"When are you going to fill in the heart?  What's going in it?"
Never, and nothing.

11.)
I'm a sunscreen-aholic, but that doesn't entirely prevent color-fading.
I want it to shine bright and beautifully - I'm proud of my tattoo and it's placement, and I want it to sparkle!

It's my reminder:

"An empty heart is open to everything.
'Everything' will paint a beautifully unique pair of wings -
nothing can hold down an open heart,
and her wings are bound to be her, and only her,
for as long as she wishes or wants."
