I believe in goals instead of resolutions! Here they are; 2014 style!

1. Raise more money at this year’s benefit concert than last year’s for invisible illness awareness and research.
2. Learn how to delegate better.
3. Visit the Spisak’s in Cincinnati.
4. See someone new in concert.

My 50 goals for 2013.  It’s Judgement Day…

1.  Make Life as a Zebra Foundation a 501 3c. Done!
2. Raise more than $12,500 at our Invisible Illness Benefit on April 13, 2013 for Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation, National Dysautonomia Research Foundation, and Vasculitis Foundation. Yup! We were around $26,000 this year.
3. Obtain sponsorship for the benefit. We had some awesome sponsors this year.

One of my friends emailed me a couple of weeks ago asking what would be my top 25 things that make me smile. Since she asked, I have found myself thinking about it quite often. I am here to say, it is not a bad thing to have to think about the things that make you happy; especially during some difficult, busy, flare-up weeks.

(Thank you, friend. You know who you are).

1. Hugs. Not weak hugs, but those really great, meaningful hugs.

2. Breakfast for dinner.

3. Music. All kinds. Especially live music.

I believe in working towards goals rather than making resolutions.  So here it goes…My top 50 goals for 2013:

1.  Make Life as a Zebra Foundation a 501 3c.
2. Raise more than $12,500 at our Invisible Illness Benefit on April 13, 2013 for Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation, National Dysautonomia Research Foundation, and Vasculitis Foundation.
3. Obtain sponsorship for the benefit.

Let’s face it.  It’s hard to feel attractive in your own skin when you feel like your body is turning on you.
