My hopes, dreams, intentions, goals and things I want to manifest in 2010:
  • Read 13 books - that's one a month and one to spare
  • Take a trip to Port Douglas
  • Celebrate mine and Ms L's ten year anniversary - perhaps in Port Douglas
  • Spend NYE 10/11 in Thailand with Ms L and our friends Audrey and Mat
  • Get a job that is fulfilling, rewarding and enjoyable
  • Pay off our personal loans and save $5,000
  • Lose 30kg
  • Move to a bright, spacious new house, close to parkland and close to the city
  • Enjoy domestic pursuits - bake bread, cook great meals, entertain friends
  • Get out of the house more
  • Keep up the daily writing
  • Start writing a novel
  • Grow my artistic practice - explore new ideas, projects, mediums,
  • Exhibit and/or publish my art
  • Hang out with good people
  • Make collaborative project ideas into realities
  • Hang out with my Mum more
  • Have fun, relax more
  • Have a fabulous trip to the USA in February/March
  • Be kind, patient, trusting, understanding and calm with myself and others
OK 2010, I'm ready.

  1. WOW Cathy! That is a serious to-do list but very balanced. I wish you every sucess in 2010 and if you come across any cracking books...let me know.

    I am onto the last book in the Millenium Triology by Stieg Larsson...worth a look if you haven't already read it.

  6. I love this list! I share some similar goals, and even share a ten year anniversary this year too. If you have a chance check out the book "5", it really is a simple and motivational way to set some specifics on how to reach your goals. (and you would then have one book down!) Ok, now I am motivated to make my own list!

    There is so much power in writing these things down... so many of these will be ticked by this time next year.

  26. Dear Cathy, Happy new year!
    And congratulations on a wonderful list. It sounds like you have a lot to look forward to in the new year.
    Did much of your list unfold during the Mondo Beyondo course? Your friend, the lovely Creative Beast, mentioned that you had done the course in 2009. I am enrolled for Jan 2010 and I am SO excited. If I come up with a list that's half as inspiring as yours, I will be a very happy gal indeed!

  27. KitchenAid love, don't put it off, i mean, it's taken how many years for us to add the attachments?? You'll use it ALL the time. Be warned, check out your colours & ensure when the big purchase is about to happen, your colour is available. Love Posie
