One of my lovely bloggy buddies, Bethany, just re-visited her goals from 2009 that she wanted to finish in 2010. This sounded like a great idea so I’m going to write a letter, and we can next year see how well I did…
Dear Future 2011 ME,
Hi, umm…remember me, if not, please peruse all 2010 pictures. Yup, that’s what we looked like over the past 365 days. To begin, I’m hoping that you are enjoying the newer, slimmer, healthier you or me or whatever…Those 15lbs of extra you really aren’t needed…just saying. Besides, if you are going to be a TRUE Hipster Christian, then you must buy/wear skinny jeans which will require some of you to disappear.
Also, I’m sure you will be busy with your new PhD classes because you applied and got accepted—way to go on the awesome personal statement. Remember Google calendar is your friend.
Speaking of writing/scheduling, isn’t keeping up with Google Calendar amazing? WHY did you not do this sooner? Oh yeah, because you thought you could keep your entire to do list in your head. So, How did that work for ya? Like I thought, Google calendar rocks. ADMIT IT!
How much fun was your ONE YEAR blog anniversary? Did we give away cool stuff? I’m sure your posts were lovely and better each time…learning to write by writing…wasn’t this your ideal pedagogy?
If the 2010 hurricanes don’t wash the Outer Banks away, I hope you enjoyed the ocean, the pirate museum, and climbing Hatteras Lighthouse.
Don’t you feel more enlightened now that you have read all of Anna Karenina, for that matter finish all of 2010′s summer reading list…of course, good books help feed the soul.
So, I suppose we will see each other in 365 days.
Sarah Jessica
Question: Where would you like to be in 1 year?

Great letter! Here’s to meeting those goals!
I always want to invest more in people. I think I keep that goal pretty in the front of my mind most of the time, but every now and again it slips away and I forget it. So I need to constantly remind myself that others matter. A lot.
I am working at becoming more organized, but would like to see that really come together a bit better, particularly in the cleaning the house arena. With hubby in school and working, I get easily overwhelmed, so I have to really stay on top of cleaning things. Need to improve there big time.
And there are two songs that we play in our cover band that I have not memorized. I would like to have them committed to memory by this time next year. I know I can do it — I just need to do it!
I like the idea of writing a letter to future me. I have been toying with the idea of doing a vlog like that on my weight loss website. Nice letter and awesome goals!
