Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I’ve thought about writing a list like this for a long time yet always worried that it meant that what I’m doing right now is lacking in merit. A shift occurred, however, when I had that moment of realization that there is no THERE without HERE. The future doesn’t exist without today. So thank you, Andrea at Superhero Journal, for inspiring me to voice my dreams to the world.
1. Be a successfully published novelist.
2. Win an award for my work.
3. Be interviewed by Tavis, Terry, and Charlie.
4. Be paid handsomely for work that I love.
4. Visit Cambodia and India.
5. Really know America.
6. Be financially independent.
7. Master the Yoga Shakti DVD and meet Shiva Rea.
8. Love myself, inside and out (and tell my thirteen year old self, “It’s okay”).
