This year I want to make them into something I can really reach for in 12 months and I want to make them simple, straight forward and to the point.
Here is a great post on how to do just that on Navy Wives Unite.
Krista Wells explains that we should set three goals, one from each category.
The Categories:
1. Health
2. Wealth

To celebrate our best friend's last weekend here in California, for...

Los Padres National Forest
