My Life Goals

admin — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:40:12 +0000

We’re saying goodbye to 2011 in a few days. I’m really excited for 2012. I have already written a draft of my New Year’s Resolution. Well, it’s not really a New Year’s Resolution but more of my life goals. I have been reading Bo Sanchez’s book and he has influenced me to do this. According to his book, some Harvard students were asked how many of them were writing down their goals. The researchers found out that only 3% of them did. Years later, they tracked them down again and surprisingly, the most successful of them all were the 3% who did write their goals.

I got inspired by that and that’s my strategy for this new year. I wrote my life goals in Evernote and every morning after I say my morning prayers I will read it and put it into heart for 365 days.

So do you want to take a peek at my Life Goals? It’s divided into four categories – Self Goals, Wife Goals, Mother Goals, and Career Goals.

For myself, I want to be fit and healthy. I want to eat in moderation and exercise. I hope I will be fit enough to carry RockyMountainTrail.com hiking backpacks in the future and maybe run a marathon in a the future. *wink

As a wife and mother I want to be the best I could be. I want to show them my love and devotion and help them achieve their full potential. They are my priority and I want them to feel that every single day.

As for my “career” goals, I want to maximize my full potential. I want to be able to keep working at home so I can take care of my family. Ultimately, I want money to work for me and not the other way around.

How about you? Have you written down you goals for 2012?

It’s Father’s Day! Time to Take out Those Champagne Glasses

It’s going to be Father’s day in a few days and it’s time to pamper the daddies in our lives. I don’t know why this day is not that well celebrated just like Mother’s day. I think we also have to celebrate the men in our lives and do what they like to do on this day. For some dads, maybe it’s the time to take out the wine decater and champagne glasses and party but for my husband who is more of a homebody, an enjoyable homemade lunch and some pampering will do the trick. He’s not keen on going out because during the weekend it’s his time to rest. I completely understand because he works hard during the week so I want him to be as comfortable as possible and treat him like a king on that day.

Of course, our little ones will have to join in on the celebration. I was hoping my eldest would sing him a nice song and draw him a Father’s day card. I still don’t know how our little one will participate but I’m guessing he doesn’t have to do much. Just a cute smile is already enough to melt his Daddy’s heart.

I want their Dad to feel how much he’s loved because he has been a great father to them. I know he has sacrificed much just to make sure they’ll have a great future ahead of them.

As for me, I would try and cook a hearty lunch for him. I will cook some of his favorite foods complete with dessert for his sweet tooth. We may not be giving him some luxury holidays in Turkey this year but what we can give is from the bottom of our hearts.

Zachary’s Dedication

One of the most important celebrations in a baby’s life is his Dedication. Babies are a gift from God that is why it is important for us, Christians, to dedicate him back to the Lord as soon as possible. Zachary’s dedication was held a few weeks short of his second month on earth. His grandfather was kind enough to shoulder all the expenses. It was a stress free affair for all of us because the restaurant that they hired to cater the food also had access to reliable printing services that took care of our other needs such as the invitation and the poster.

The poster above was already provided by the restaurant. We just took the pictures then emailed it to them. We didn’t see it until we arrived at the restaurant on the day of the celebration and we didn’t regret we let them handled it.

Also included in the package was a nice cake and some cute giveaways. Overall, I love how it all turned out. It was indeed a wonderful way to welcome Zachary to the Christian world.
