October Dreams

September Dreams:

So I was a little over zealous with my September Dreams :)

Adjusting to life with a new baby requires lots of flexibility so I've adapted many of the goals I dreamt up last month. Let's review....

Physical:

• lose 5lbs (still working on that baby weight) - YES
• walk 3x/week - YES, as long as 10 minute walks with Lainy in the Baby Bjorn count
• check Spinning class schedule at YMCA - NO, but I did day dream about going to Spinning class...

Spiritual:

• take a yoga class - YES, Melaina and I went to mommy & me yoga 2x
• read an inspiring book - YES, for all of 10 minutes :)

Finances:

• save 25% of my earnings this month - WORK IN PROGRESS
• donate to beloved charity - YES, a small donation but still counts!

Service:

• brainstorm ways to give back locally and globally - NOT EXACTLY, but an opportunity presented itself to me & it is in progress

Environment:

• clean off the buffet in our foyer, empty boxes in my home office - WORK IN PROGRESS, again spent about 10 minutes working on these areas but definitely did not finish

Self-Care:

• re-establish morning ritual, take 15 minutes of "me-time" daily - WORK IN PROGRESS (life long work in progress really)

Life's Work:

• assess current schedule/activities and brainstorm next steps - YES, I've already adjusted my schedule and things are going more smoothly

Creativity:

• blog 2x this month - YES
• art journal - NO
• vision board for remainder of 2011 - NO

October Dreams:

This month is all about connection for me. I'm excited to spend time with friends & family and meet up with like-minded peeps at a few local gatherings!

• Attend Buffalo Women Entrpreneurs ROCK! meeting
• Stop in at local La Leche League meeting
• Savor Fall weather and go apple picking with my sister and her family
• Baby shower for an old friend
• Girls Night with my YaYas
• Celebrate Halloween with fun festivities at my mom's house
• Drop another 5lbs
• Move every day (yoga, walking, maybe a gym jaunt)
• Get a Pedicure (in desperate need!)
