Today I headed up to my dear Freitags to cook up the annual black eyed peas and collard greens (and also my mama's cheese biscuits, which I have unfortunately perfected). Here's to extra helpings of luck and money in 2011!
These are some areas in which I'm hoping to be especially productive this year:
Working on my home. I've been putting off so many projects--hanging curtains & artwork, really cleaning & organizing, making my space amazing!
Writing. I spent three years in graduate school for Creative Writing and now I don't even write a poem every week! It's ridiculous. So, I'm beckoning the God of Productivity to give me some guidance so that I write more in 2011 and actual send poems out to magazines.
Exercise. It's easy to put this on the back burner when you're busy . . . but I gotta get with the program, because I don't feel good when I'm not exercising. Yoga, dance, hiking, running, here I come!
Being a better teacher, which for me mostly means being more conscientious about lesson plans--really researching the best resources, reading more books about curriculum, etc.
What's your word for 2011?
