At the recommendation of a certain Gemma (here and here) I've been reading The Success Principles by Jack Canfield and trying to read myself into successfulness. Just thought I'd share one of the exercises with you...

13. Set up a writers retreat in France
14. Publish a novel
15. Walk around London looking swish with a coffee in one hand and tweeting with the other...ha!

a wonderful list... i used to be able to do handstands but know i would injure myself if i tried now..to become supple once again and build a little physical strength would be on my list..also to return to my twenties and feel the freedom this brings, paint, sing, take photos, climb a mountain, volunteer.. ohh lots more.
ReplyDeletehappy weekend x
I agree on about half of these...you sound very similar to me, glad you didn't put a timescale on it. And I will come to your writers retreat in France if you set it up x
