Thanks for asking!

Relationships with men: I have several men that I am close to, but want to build it more.

Justin: Went on mexico trip for his 16th birthday.
Olivia: Still working on connection
Rebecca: Doesn't want to go fishing anymore because we never catch anything! But we are doing other stuff together.

Mentors/accountability partners: I have good accountability for food and fitness. The other stuff is sketchy. I feel a strong need for someone to help me go over my life and do "clean up" work, as far as dealing with hurts, unfinished business, making amends, etc. And I still feel strongly about a need for a "Life Mentor."

Defining my identity and purpose: Have done some cool work on that, much of which is posted on this blog.

In depth studies: Did a lot the first half of the year. It's been awhile though.

Designing a web site and writing: This blog has turned out to be the answer for much of that.

Finances: My giving plan has gone very well and consistently. With my second job my cash flow is getting better. I found great ways to print digital pics and frame them. Still want an mp3 player. I got a good headset for my cell phone for one dollar at the dollar store.
