2007
 

What are your plans, hopes, dreams, goals for 2007?:cool:

My wishes for 2007
 

1. Stick with yoga, green tea diet, and drinking water only.
2. Continue to improve myself physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Definitely make myself the priority.
3. MOST IMPORTANT GOAL OF ALL: Not to make ANY plans. God has the ultimate plan for me.

My dreams for 07 are that my family doesn't go through all that we went through in '06 with family members being taken away "before" we were ready for them to go, and also that my step father has his transplant and that things look up from that point on.

1. Put behind me a season of life that was the hardest and miserable experience of my life but as with all things God always gives you double for your trouble.
2. Decoarate my house.
3. Appreciate the blessings of my husband, two kids, home, career and all God has blessed me with. :D
4. Continue grad school/
5. RELAX, take a cruise this summer.

1. Strengthen my relationship with God. He called my mother Home 5 months ago, and I think I need to get closer to Him so that I can stop crying almost every day, eat more than once a day, and sleep through the night. Y'all I'm crying while I'm typing 'cause I'm reflecting on the last few months I had this year with my Mama. If she were here, we'd be in church praying together. I'm still wondering what I'm supposed to do without her. It's so very hard to put on a happy face. I miss her so very much.

2. Finish my novel. I've been working on it for almost a year now. I'm anxious to get it done, and excited about getting published.

3. Go to church more often. I haven't been since I funeralized my mother (7-7-06).

4. Eliminate my credit card debt.

5. Open my heart and my life for a true soulmate.

Happy New Year, Y'all.

1. Don't make any resolutions.
2. Learn that everything (good and bad) is a life lesson, not the end of the world.

I hope to receive less Jesus forwards -- "send this to at least X number of people to prove that you love Jesus."

I hope no one sends me the T D Jakes "Let It Go" e-mail anymore ever again.

In 2007, my prayer is that my desires connect with God's plans for my life.

I want to be diligent to my gym membership. ;)

Build a stronger relationship with God.
Stop being afraid of my voice so that I can sing for Him.
Start Graduate School (hopefully in the summer).
Find a GOOD job in my field, instead of working random jobs just for a check.
I'd also take more risks this year.
Try to get a six pack tummy. lol (I came pretty close before I went to college. I had a four pack! :), now I just have a pack.)
Be a little more patient, and learn something from every experience.

Happy New Year Everyone!
Wow, 2007 is here and what a start!
I plan to be more patient this year, with myself, things I have control over, especially things I have NO control over.
I plan to pay more attention to my instincts and not doubt myself so much
I plan on making new friends and reaffirming old ones
I plan on being more diligent with my health and weight removal
I plan on paying more attention to my napps and nurture them more
I plan on being HAPPY

Two-thousand and 7
 

What's up family?

I hope that everyone had a wonderful evening, and I pray that everyone lives an even more awesome 2007. This year, I'll be:

1.) Planing to work my ass off to be the most
phenomenal Daddy to my two Sons. There is nothing like training boys
to become Men, especially knowing that they will one day become
ALPHA Men.

2.) I too, like my homegirl Luv4denzel, will be working on a novel, and I'll
be thanking GOD every day for my book deal. Here comes that Bentley
Coup!!!

3.) Working harder to become the Man of GOD, that HE has
designed me to be, because Oh Boy!!, I know that I'm a work in
progress.

4.) Creating a Memorial Foundation in my Mother's name, since she
passed in the "06".

5.) Stop meeting all of the wrong women, trying to turn them into the
"right" one, and let GOD work HIS magic.

Peace,
the 7th Son of Osiris

In 2007, I will be doing what I was hired to do--TEACH! None of this extraneous bullisht because I'm tired of being stressed and cheating my students. All that other stuff--if it gets done, it gets done; if it doesn't, OH WELL!

In 2007, I plan to tell it like it is!! No more BSing from me.

I'm 25 and it's time for me to be grown and about my business.

D-I-Double T-O!!
 

Girl, who are you tellin'?!?! Add that to my list.

I am excited about 2007 :) I will be graduating this May with my Masters in Higher Education. Time goes soo fast cause I remember being nervous about getting accepted to grad school and now I am almost complete. :D

This year I really want to strengthen my relationship with God. I definitely got wayward from that last year. But now I am realizing that I need God so much in my life.

Spending more time with my family is so important this year. I've learned to realize that family is precious and valuable and you really don't know what may happen to them. I want to continue to work on the relationship with my daddy. After my Granny's death we gotten a lot closer and I realize as much as I try to deny it I really need and desire a father in my life. :o

Well I have rant enough. 2007 is a season of blessings and newness. I really want to make each day count. I also want to make sure that I bring sunshine into others life. I've been selfish for too long, I really want to start helping and loving others and not always thinking about myself. Shadra is growing up...;)

Ditto. That's a good way to look at it.

2006 was a getting back on my feet year--new job, new home, new relationship. My goal for 2007 is to build upon my Blessings of 2006, and to continue to follow the path of Humanism--do good because it is the right thing to do and not because of a hopeful reward of Heaven, nor a threat of Hell.

And of course to continue to fulfill my lifetime commitment to my glorious sisterhood.

Oh dear! Did you get a package from me back in October or November?

WORK IT!!!!!!!!;) :D

1. Take a Closer Walk with Him.
2. Learn to leave old hurts and worries in 2006. If you treated me bad then, you will not get another chance to do it again in '07.
3. Continute to be thankful for my family, my friends and my health.
4. Decorate our new house.
5. Stop worrying about the things I cannot change
6. Continue to be the wacky individual that I am :D

Okay, I am really feeling you on both of these posts. I had to tell my friend I would disown her if she sent me one more Jesus forward. Sorry...Keep It Moving.

LOL ;)

Yes, please do not stop this at all!
Happy New Year A!!!

This year I am excited to see my boys grow and learn new things. It seems like every month they are getting bigger and bigger and wiser and wiser.

I am also excited to start back working in May. I love being a stay at home but I am a mover and a shaker. I need to be out working and completing projects. I grow bored very easily.

I really don't have resolutions cause I never keep them. I want to lose some of this baby weight but I am sure I will after I start working. Other than that I am just learning to take each day at a time.

I love what Soror LadyGreek said about being nice to others not for an award or to escape a punishment but to do it because it is the right thing to do. Wise thinking Soror!!:D

2006 was stressful but during this time, I came to some realizations and learned some hard lessons. The year 2007 will be a time of change for me...heck, it has been already!

• I will be starting grad school this spring.
• I am looking for a new job. I was laid off but everything happens for a reason so I am looking at this as an opportunity to do what I really want to do with my career.
• We will be occupying our newly built home soon.

In addtion to the changes already in progress, I will be striving to resolve some health and spiritual issues.

2006 was definitely a growth year for me and I don't know about you but I'm sick of the growing pains...
This year I plan to be intentional about my life. I will no longer let things happen to me and go with the flow. I will make a concious voluntary decision to act with not other motive in mind than to promote the higher good of all individuals (Love)
I plan to stop second guessing myself and trust that I am who God intended me to be.
I plan to have fun

Happy New Year everyone!

We'll talk at chapter meeting Friday! :D

This year, I plan on pursuing happyness in ever facet of my life. Which means that I will do the following

-Cultivate a rich relationship with Christ by 1)studying His Word and 2)praying consistently. I do the church, Bible Class, and Sunday School thing. I'm active, but sometimes I feel that that personal relationship lacks.

-Make Del a priority

-Continue to have a great relationship with family. I love my peeps. That's all that I have.

-Start graduate school. I'm scared but time is flying. I need to do this.

Let's make '07 right GC!

My life changes for Jan 1 foward are to...
1. To strategically save money toward a vacation and my retirement
2. To put myself first and take better care for myself

What did I open my email to this morning - TWO copies of TD Jakes "rules for 2007 ". Geesh...

Happy New Year Everyone.

In a nutshell my resolution is to let go and let God. I have some personal goals I would like to meet but if HE has other plans I'm going to stop fighting and see where being obedient leads me.

My major goals for 2007
1. Do it up for our 1st wedding anniversary

2. Buy our first home

3. Become more spiritually grounded

4. Let go of a lot of negative habits

I got it the other day and it was a slight remix to it as well.

I hope 2007 brings less suspect people to GC.

And I really wish people would stop misusing and abusing "..." Why use ... when . or , or ; will do.

My goals in 2007:

1) To pay down most if not all or my cc debt
2) Buy my first home (I'm tired of renting and paying my landlords mortgage)
3) Find a church home and start going faithfully
4) Be more positive

Girl, I've already started, and it feels real good.

K.

I use ellipses as an online form of pausing. How about --- or *pause*? lol That does make it hard when I do papers for school, because I know I can't use them.

Pauses, eh? Mmkay. It just annoys me when people have more of these "..." than words. It makes me not read their e-mails or posts, etc.

See, you got me because I do that all of the time too. I'll work on that.

:) This year I'm gonna put God first all I do. That's basically the equivalent for having the most fulfilling year of my life to me. Happy New Year's to all!!!!

Praying that G-D will put behind me the roughest year of my life and not it flow over into 2007. With family deaths, family infidelities, relationship problems, job problems, whew, I'm just hoping for a better year.

SC

i can tell you what resolution im NOT going to make... to lose weight. i say it every year and i never do it. maybe reverse psychology will work its magic.

(sorry about that ellipsis CT4, i use them all the time. but i feel that way about appropriate exclamation and semi-colon use. it irks me to no end! and i believe that was an appropriate use)

ok, 2K7 resolutions.
-start being a grown @ss woman (well i have been for a while, but i mean financially - getting my own place and get serious about paying bills)
-being more active with the chapter
-start living like im 22 instead of 102 :)
-switch over to Mac (im getting a little aggy with PC)
-apply for grad school for 08 (which means take the GRE)

(its funny, ive been trying to post my resolutions on my xanga for14 hours now but ive managed todo it here in 10 minutes!)

It has been 13 days since my last soda and even though I'm feening, I WILL NOT DRINK A SODA :)

I gave up my soda habit last year for Lent, just for fun.

JUST noticed that my scalp is no where NEAR as dry as it used to be.

tld: I will be applying to grad school as well. Scared to DEATH to take the GRE. :( Will be buying the book GRE for Dummies on FRIDAY.

Wow, so many of you have posted some of the things I want to do in '07, but the one serious thing I want to accomplish is reducing credit card debt, and start saving more.

I too have given up soda since Christmas. I have not noticed a big change in my health yet, but I am encouraged about it. Glad to hear that I am not the only one. :)

The one fun thing I want to do this year is actually finish some of my needlepoint and knitting projects. I'm a crafts addict. :p

And to those wanting to go to grad school GO FOR IT !!! .
