Goals/Life Update - Day 772/1001

Personal development is your springboard to personal excellence. Ongoing, continuous, non-stop personal development literally assures you that there is no limit to what you can accomplish. - Brian Tracy

Goals Completed: 32
Goals in Progress: 27

Since my last update, I’ve completed Safe and Well Linking Fundamentals, another online American Red Cross course towards my Disaster Response specialization (#49). Additionally, I completed the Red Cross volunteer application and signed up for an orientation. I’ve ordered business and social cards; still waiting to hear back from the Oregon Board before I can start seeing clients. I’ve eaten Lamb Shawarma (#68), in honor of seeing Thor – my new food of the month. I’ve gotten some irrigation hose and pipe pieces from Steph’s dad, and I’m all set to start my garden plan for the spring. Tomorrow I’ll be cleaning out the trellis/garden shed in the front yard to make room to store everything until Spring.

New words: (1) narthex, defined as a room located inside of a Church, separate from the main worshipping area; an enclosed passage. (2) caffè sospeso , translating to "suspended coffee", or the idea of paying for TWO cups of coffee, only drinking one, thus allowing another patron in need to later enjoy the other for free – a tradition dating back to a recession in Naples, and (3) destinate, defined as to determine the destiny of someone or something.
