Intentions for 180 v1 (Monica)

One of the things we decided to do each 6 months, each location, is to clarify our intentions or goals for the upcoming period.  Here are mine, placed here in writing for an extra measure of accountability. 

These all have a deadline of May 16, 2012:  
  1. Complete a business plan for a new business. (figure out my next career / way to make money for living). 
  2. Be able to speak and understand Spanish at an intermediate conversational level.  (Hay mucho de oportunidades en Miami para practicando espanol)  
  3. Lose at least ten pounds.  (this should be very do-able in Miami Beach, land of the beautiful people, healthy food, warm weather and ample opportunity to exercise.)
I really like the 6 month cycle for this vs. a year as we do with resolutions.  Things seem more urgent, and it also seems like I need to focus more, finally realizing at the age of 45 that I cannot do everything!  I had a long list of goals and wishes, but I decided to narrow it down to 3. And, #1 and #2 are related in a way as I believe I will need #2 in order to do #1. 
  
I also intend to stay in connection with friends in other places and to put myself out there a bit more than I’m naturally inclined to do to meet new friends here. There is no measurable goal here, this is just something I want to keep in mind and act on daily.
So, here we go.... 180 degrees version 1.  We’ll see how it goes, revise and repeat in 6 months.
