Dear Help,

Congratulations on creating your road map for 2010.  When you look at your vision board you are looking at your destinations.  Now it's time to plan your trip and that can only happen one mile, one step at a time. 

Pick one "destination" and break it up into smaller parts.  Work at it little by little until it's done.  Then move on to the next.  I wouldn't try to tackle all of your goals at the same time. Also, life happens and you must take time to relax and enjoy the ride.  So what if you don't accomplish all of your goals this year?  When you re-evaluate at the end of 2010, you may wish to move a goal to your 2011 list or remove it altogether. You are the designer of your life.

For example, I can't tell you how long I've been working on my website. First I had to do research to see what kind of site I wanted, then I had to get all of the components to my web designer, Barb Gottlieb (who is one of the nicest and most patient people I know). That took awhile but once we made it a priority and gave ourselves a deadline, we made it happen.

Check it out I think you'll like it.

Have fun on your journey and have a blessed New Year.
