I stopped making resolutions a long time ago. Resolving something seems to goad me to run out and do the opposite. I prefer goals. Goals are supposed to be measurable, so here are my numerical goals for 2014:
2 extended travel essays written and published by On Your Radar Media Company
50 miles: an achievable ride even when hilly or wet at an average of 15 mph
20 pounds lost and not found again (by July)
100 percent of retirement savings goal met
2 adventures in New Zealand
1 Tour de France adventure (27 days in July)
2 satisfied clients with at least 3 episodes of surpassing expectations
3 personal development conferences (CTI, Storylines, Travel Writing)
