goals.

This post is inspired by a little lady I like to call Ty. We met about five years ago in journalism class, and has been one of many friendships that prove age is just a number.

Even though I was graduating high school just as she was starting her term, we bonded and have been connected via social media and through the blogosphere. 

After reading her latest blog post, on Ty Peace n Love, I was inspired to take on same the challenge she did - confirming can creating your goals.

This couldn't have come at a better time, with my move to Vancouver. 

Do it now: write down two personal, two career and two health goals for the next one, five and 10 years. 

Do this four times a year.
