One of the goals I set myself this year was to take a family portrait each season. I have just uploaded the Summer 2010 session to my Flickr page. Click the picture above to take a look.

The rest of my goals for 2010 include writing goals, creativity goals, health and fitness goals, financial goals, family and friends goals and spiritual formation goals. Each category of goals has a series of specific measurable goals with a list of next steps and deadlines for each. Some are as simple as starting university study, others are as tricky as wanting to ride more than 1000 kilometres over the next 12 months. I expect to be stretched this year. I expect to correct some imbalance that has crept in. I expect to grow this year. I believe God when he says he has plans for my life (Jer 29:11)

I enjoyed using Chris Guillebeau’s method for goal setting, and in tandem with a great deal of prayer, I think I have a plan for 2010 that is sustainable and achievable. I am so excited to see what God has in store for me and mine this year!

What are your expectations for the year ahead?
