February Goals (2017)

Hey World,

I am not quite sure where January went, or how twenty seven days have flown past me with hardly a notice,  but it's already time for my February goals!

1. Get passport with my married name (!!!!!) 

2. Begin/Resume wedding posts on A Path Unpaved 

3. Go to Sauti za Busara for my MA thesis (research, part two!)

4. Keep going to Yoga at least 1x a week

5. Execute 2 kinds of "givingness" this month, that are not money-driven

6. Finish reaching out to my far-away friends for much needed catch-ups

7. Discuss our 2017 donation plan with BG again; especially in light of recent political events

Here's how January shaped up:

1. Set up method for tracking 2017 reading + page counting goals I have an Excel sheet set up, and six books (1,600 pages) already down for 2017! 

2. Kick off 2017 with Brady in Amsterdam  We went, we froze, and we drank lots of hot chocolate near canals! A low-key but beautiful mini-trip to start 2017.  

3. Write 'just because' letters & postcards to friends for January I am back on the bus, posting 5 cards and 3 postcards this month 

4. Change my name on social media accounts Done! What a relief :)

5.  Host an "Open Table" dinner for January I Hosted "Mr. Robato", with spicy beef ramen soup, salad w/ peanut dressing & some sushi for a party of 9. Reports say it was good!   

6. Decide how much BG & I will donate annually, and start a list of which organizations we're interested in  This is more of a process than I thought it would be, but we've had some good preliminary discussions, and made our first donation for 2017! 

xoxo,
