(This photo was taken by a 3-year-old little girl in Az. She was super cute and kept asking me if she could take my photo. I did not mind, but I was a little worried about her dropping my camera.)

I want to tell you something that very few people know and I have been hesitant to blog about. I moved to Alameda so I could save money, but you know this if you read this post. I want to save money because in Fall 2011 I would like to move to Portland, Organ. I have wanted to move out of state for a few years now, but have always been scared because I have a GREAT foundation here. I have come to realized that I am not happy here. I want to leave California (it may not be forever.) I want to work for myself full time. I want to pursue photography. I want to know where I am going.
........................................................................................................................
In March, I want to focus on what is next for me.
1.Time management: I read this really good blog post yesterday and I really need to get on top of my calendar.
2. Staying healthy: This is forever a goal of mine. I want to keep working out and training to run a ½ marathon in June. I need to drink lots more water and keep eating as healthy as possible.
3. Moving checklist: I need to start making plans for this move. I need to set a date that cannot be changed. I need to make a list of everything that I need to do in order to move by Fall.
4. Online classes: I am taking two online classes right now and I need to make sure that I set time aside everyday to focus on those classes. One is a photography class and the other is Indie Biz 3.0.
5. Journal: I want to journal everyday this month because I have been feeling a little down and I know journaling helps me.
i'm really trying to reach my goal of moving out of state in the fall as well. i've been dreaming of it, but have been afraid for several years, and i know it's time to just go for it! i hope your move works out!
