What are your hopes and dreams for 2011?

The beginning of a new year offers us opportunities to set new goals or renew our commitment to goals we have not fully accomplished the past year. It's a good practice to reflect on the lessons we learned from the past and apply them on our strategies for the new year.

So, what are your hopes and dreams for the new year 2011?

In my case, I have several. The following 3 are worth sharing with you all.

1. I want to grow artistically so I will commit to a regular studio time, 3 hours a week on my art projects.

2.  I volunteer for a statewide organization called Infant Development Association (IDA, please visit us at www.idaofcal.org) and there is a lot to be done to meet the challenges of diminished resources facing many non-profit organizations. I want to devote extra time to assist our organization.

3. I want to be more prudent with my active travel expenses this year by keeping my running events in northern California.
