Three Words

I’ve been picking three words as a theme for the year for several years now. Well, I’ve picked three words each year but sometimes only one or two words really come through for me. One year I chose the word reduce as one of my three words and that’s the year that I got rid of a lot of things in my house by having the estate sale and was the year that I really started to lose weight. This year my three words are:

  • pull-up:  I like pull-up because I’ve set a goal at the gym (Summa Wellness Institute in Hudson) to do one pull up. That is an unbelievably difficult goal for me but I’m working on it. I also like the whole “bootstrap” thing. So, the multiple meanings work well for me.
  • income: I could not think of a multi-meaning word that really got to the point for me on this so I went with the word that means what is important for me. I really need to focus on generating income now that I’m self-employed
  • consolidate: I want to consolidate my possessions and actions so that I’m living a more efficient life and in a less cluttered environment.

If you’re not familiar withe the idea of choosing three words for the year over setting resolutions, read Chris Brogran’s blog about it. He started this in 2006 and has been using it ever since and encouraging the rest of the world to follow suit.

Three Words 2015

Happy New Year!

It’s 2015 and that time to reflect on the past year and set goals for the new.

I ran my first race in 2014 and went on to run two more. So, I ran two 5Ks and then one 5 mile. I ran a bit more quickly in the second 5K than I did in the first so that was good. When I ran the 5 mile race, that was the furthest I’ve ever run.

So for 2015 I figure I might as well keep going. I don’t have the desire to run long distances but I want to keep running the shorter races. I signed up for a relay team for the Akron Marathon next September. I think all of the phases for the race are a bit over five miles. It will be good to have a team to train with.

On the professional side of things, I quit my regular job in 2014 and began to work for my own business. My new company is WhitePoint Professionals. My goal for 2015 is to build my company so that I have a steady stream of business. Right now I’m working on getting the website developed and accounting details taken care of. More on this later.

So, it looks like 2015 will be a busier year than last year.
