Ask and You Shall Receive
My friend Elizabeth is a big believer in putting your goals out there, verbalizing them for all to hear. "What do you want," she asks me. "Say it out loud and then make it happen." I was very nervous to put a number out there, it's just so exact, so open to failure. What if I only made it to 49...then what? But I bit the bullet, and lo' and behold, we made it happen on the first day. What a wonderful lesson in goal-setting.
So, here's to a year of verbalizing our goals, no matter how big... how small... how silly... how scary. Let this be the year where we make it happen. Say it loud, say it proud.
If you haven't yet entered the India GIVEAWAY, there is still plenty of time!

ok, christine (and elizabeth) -- i am going to say it loud (and say it proud), i would like 15 women to sign up for the bay end arts retreat, persephone rising, in march 2010 on the shores of buzzards bay, mass -- the teachers and the classes they're offering are awesome!

A big YAY for you! I totally get what you are saying and 2010 is going to be the year of verbalizing and reaching goals. Sounds so easy, but the self-doubt creeps in and takes hold. Here's to being positive and saying it out loud!
you and elizabeth are amazing and inspiring. i love the idea of verbalizing...i need to get right on that.
love that you are finding the courage to say your goals out loud!!! you inspire me!
LOL...if you'd only made it to 49, I'd have dragged my Amish neighbor to a computer and made her leave a comment!
I just found your blog today, through mayamade. You have a wonderful blog, and I must say, many of your pictures and stories from India were just touching. Looking forward to follow your blog. Have a great day!
Those are great words to hear. I'll admit to sometimes feeling like I shouldn't ask. For 2010 I'm asking!
woo baby! you are still cookin' with crisco on the number of giveaway comments -- totally cool -- and those muffins look yum!
