I have had quite a few discussions about my 17 Before 2017 list over the last couple of months. I guess that’s related to the whole New Years resolution thing. Sadly, most of the time I can’t remember all 17 things on my list. I need to do something about that because even though very [...]

Donating blood
Posted in 17 before 2017 on 29/01/2012 | 4 Comments »
On Friday I checked off the second item on my 17 Before 2017 list that has a recurring deadline – annual blood donations. (The only other recurring goal is to read 42 books per year.) I had to give myself some leeway after re-discovering blood donating on my list at the end of the year [...]
17 Before 2017 Update or My 2011 Reading List

As some of you may remember, at the beginning of the year I published my “17 Before 2017″ list outlining the things I want to accomplish/do before I turn 40 at the end of 2017. The biggest item on my list that requires continual progress is reading 250 books – or 42 books per year. [...]

My friend Kameko is my inspiration for adding “Visit all 7 continents” to my 17 before 2017 list. I added it BEFORE I saw the video she put together of her trip with photos by her and other passengers on the Polar Pioneer. Once I saw the video I was even more inspired and wanted [...]
This is what happens when you put your intentions out there in public

On Friday a friend came to me and said, “Do you want to go swimming at Lehakoe (the gym, pronounced Leh-haw-kway) twice a week?” My first instinct, of course, was to decline. BUT since I just put my intentions out here (and figured she had read them), I realized I couldn’t get away with it. [...]
17 before (the end of) 2017
Posted in 17 before 2017 on 05/01/2011 | 4 Comments »
Although I very rarely set actual resolutions (because I never follow through anyway) I’m just like everyone else and at the beginning of the year can’t help but think about , things I want to achieve, change, etc., etc. So recently I’ve been thinking about a 40 before 40 list, but (and I can’t believe [...]
