And there is something about a new school year that feels more like an opening chapter than January 1st ever does. Excellent points. Thanks for stopping by!Mary Danielsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13375674341038153250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990400.post-45242839630098550162010-09-11T12:25:29.004-05:002010-09-11T12:25:29.004-05:00Thanks, Sabrina! Not going to lie, I almost put &quot;Live in Ireland&quot; on the list, because I&#39;ve been thinking about your fabulous life plan ever since RWA. There&#39;s something about being surrounded by rolling Irish hills that just screams The Perfect Writing Life. ;-)Mary Danielsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13375674341038153250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990400.post-10119617036189584132010-09-10T22:46:42.993-05:002010-09-10T22:46:42.993-05:00I&#39;m in favor of goal making in the sense of how do you know what you want (so you can make a plan to get it) if you can&#39;t speak it. And back-to-school always seems like a better time to launch a new routine, not the dead of winter. Best wishes for your plans!Ann Marie Gamblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15524023358327369037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990400.post-91763144544397190062010-09-10T08:01:12.401-05:002010-09-10T08:01:12.401-05:00An excellent list!
