Day 32: Today is a BIG day!

Wrapping Up January

January was the first month of living intentionally. I'd say it went pretty well. There is room for improvement, but how much fun would this be if I achieved everything I wanted in the first 31 days?! Let's recap:

The big month theme was Spiritual. I set out to get a handle on the whole idea of living intentionally. I came up with a plan. Each month will have a big theme goal and three smaller themes. I came up with a few big things I want to do this year and started planning it all out. I'll be sure to clue you in on each goal as they become pertinent.

The Physical intention was to run 2 miles under 20 minutes. Check. That. Box.19:50.

Intellectual goal was to live by a written budget. I did this. After totaling everything up, we came in $120 over budget. Over budget not so great, but I think it was within margin. I have a better understanding of where the money is going and where we need to buckle down. Trend wise, we started out the month under budget and on track, then I think we got comfortable a let go a little. February will be interesting (fun)!

Socially, I said I'd blog 10 times... fail. I'm sorry. I'll do better.

February!

Can you believe it's already February? I guess it's time for a new set of goals.

Spiritual 

This intention will be on the smaller side this month. Last month I mentioned that I had a pin board sitting around the house which I wanted to use as an intentional living visual tracking system. I'll post a picture when I finish it.

Intellectual 

I guess it's going to be a bit of a crafty month. Intellectually I want to focus on creating an actual desk surface for my desk. Something tells me the Ikea side table pinned to the wall just won't cut it too much longer.

Physical
Ladies and Gents, Chilly Hilly
This will be my first attempt at an actual bike ride. with. other. people.
I've got some indoor riding to do. STAT.

Social
And now, the BIG news, the big theme intention.

I'm a little nervous, honest.

This month's social goal will spill over into March a little bit, about 9 days into March.

On March 9th, 2013, I will once again shave my head to raise money for childhood cancer. My goal is to raise at least $2000, and I'm hoping your loving valentine filled hearts will help me achieve this. Also if you're in the area, I hope you can make it to the event to support me (or shave your own head!)
