Hmmm ...
Well, I'm not one for resolutions. Tried that many years in a row with the typical weight-loss-fitness-take-better-care-of-myself routine and I never got past the first few days of January, so I vowed never to go down that path again. I guess the idea of a resolution is to resolve what didn't work out last year — HAH! Don't get me started there ... she laughs hysterically trying not to sound cynical.
Goals? Hmmm, tricky one, that. As I sit here and ponder what goals I have for 2008 — and believe me the list is as long as me arm — I can't help thinking I'm already setting myself up for far too mush stress and pressure than I really want to have to contemplate or anticipate as the year unfolds.
Sooo, that said, I think it'd be fantastic if some of the things that just happened to appear on my wish-list turned into reality. And, why, I'd be positively ecstatic if ALL the items were crossed off. I shall not set my expectations higher than the faith, hope and belief of what I can conjur up in my life as one day passes to the next.
As mentioned in my oh-so-long "Balance" posting, my only aim is to quit dwelling on my unfinished to-do list from yesterday, stop focusing on my superwoman to-do list of tomorrow and solely concentrate on making the most out of each of my todays.
Leezy's illustration/children's book WISH-LIST does include and in no particular order:
• To complete current dummies and revise outstanding manuscripts!
• To sign multiple children's book contracts with at least five publishers!
• To win the portfolio exhibit in NYC in February!
• To meet oodles of new and exciting people in the field!
• To redesign my Web site!
• To order new postcards/biz cards!
• To create an amazing new body of work that will blow everyone's minds straight out of the water!
• To get together with ALL members of GroupSoup and hug each and everyone of you!
What I can say is how grateful I am to be a part of this group and the opportunities and each other's life experiences that have accompanied the time we have been together so far. I am thankful for all that I am and all that I have and I look forward to a year filled with the most enriching, encouraging and empowering "todays" of my life.
CHEERS!

I love the idea of a wish list. Aim high! It's fantastic. It looks like we all have similar wishes this year....and every time I see a falling star, I'm going to wish that we all accomplish a major goal from our lists.
I wish I could say we could accomplish #7 next month! I think it'd be awesome if we could all get together at some point. Maybe that should be a goal we all share for the future? :D Perhaps it can be accomplished next year? SCBWI LA 2009?
Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? hahaha!
