I’m powerless against memes. I LOVE THEM. It’s some holdover from junior high, like slam books and magazine quizzes. Whatever. I LOVE THEM. So when Michelle told me she’d tagged me for this one and promised it didn’t suck, I was like, Whah? Some memes suck? happy to oblige.

1. If you were only allowed to have one intention for 2010, what would it be & why?

To honor my boundaries. It’s not something I’m naturally good at, and the lack of that particular skill causes me trouble. This year, I ain’t beating around the bush.

2. If you were only allowed to have one goal for 2010, what would it be & how can you achieve it?

Making a ton of dough. Which I will do by making smart choices and hustling like nobody’s business.

3. If you had to do one new thing in 2010, what would it be? Will you commit to it now?

Yeah. In 2010 I’m after getting my fiction published.

4. If you had to get rid of one thing in 2010, what would it be & why?

Hmm. Can I say “the unnecessary”? Is that cheating?

5. What have you achieved in 2009? List it all!

I don’t like to say I’ve achieved things; there’s so little we do completely on our own. Instead, I’ll list the things that make me feel like, okay, I moved up a level or two from 2008:

• I’m more tuned in to my husband and son
• After being laid off, I managed to put together a business that, okay, didn’t make me rich, but allowed me to keep paying the mortgage and putting food on the table
• I’ve gotten more comfortable with making my needs known
• Also with reaching out to people
• I got rid of a ton of stuff I didn’t need
• Read a whole bunch of fantastic books
• Got my groove back re: writing fiction
• Started playing guitar again
• Stopped caring about a lot of stupid things [my favorite]

So, 2010, let’s go.
