I was inspired by reading a bit of Ann Voskamp's book "One Thousand Gifts; A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are." So my goals are as follows:
1) I will collect my own list of gifts and use this fantastic app on my phone: 1000 Gifts. I hope to use it to have one location to enter my gifts. If I only get to 100 by the end of 2012, that is okay with me. If I get to 1000, I hope I will be inspired to continue to find the gifts around me each and every day.
2) I have also printed off the 100 Days Calendar. I would like to fill the 3 spaces in the next two weeks. However, currently I have only the first entry as: WRITE. I want to spend time writing each day. I broke down WRITE into three categories:
- Blog
- Cards/Letters
- Story/Article
I want to be able to write each day. Whether I am sharing the journey with my readers, or writing a card to a sick friend (or someone I do not know), or whether I spend time writing a new story/article or tweak an existing one. If I want to be a writer, I have to write.
Hopefully I will be able to fill the other two spots in the entry fields. We'll see what I desire to spend more time with each and every day. I also do not plan on doing the 52 books challenge again, so that instead, I can focus more on my own writing and devotion to my family.

Thanks for suggesting the book One Thousand Gifts. I am only on chapter 3 but am already blessed and convicted.
Let me tell you it will change your life for good and it is truly a wonderful book. Ann has been anointed with a gift to reach deeper than the usual and to reach into the soul.
