My ten for 2010

Okay so who said my new year’s resolutions/goals had to be declared by 01.01.10?

I mean really?

I think any day is as good as ever to decide to make a change. And as I mentioned yesterday, today is that day. HOOORAY! 🙂

Once I reveal my Goalutions (lol, I mixed resolution and goals teeehehehe), it’s official. No more bitching. No more whining. No more excuses. Game on!

And to preface my Goalutions I would like present my mantra for the year. I am sooooo a mantra person.

I dubbed “2000 – Great” for 2008

I dubbed “Time to shine in 2009”

And now “Doing it Again in 2010” (This refers to having an amazing and productive year such as that of my 2009)

I now present you with My Top 10 for 2010.
