I find this blog and the people who comment on it very helpful and inspirational. Not only did I list my 2007 wins on *both* my blogs. I have also listed my goals for 2008. I have been making my goal list for a few years now. It had never occurred to me to stop to celebrate my wins. Thanks for the inspiration and the push!

I just wanted to say how inspiring all of your accomplishments were; and I agree with one of the other people who commented above: include, also, your affect on the lives of those who read your blog and act on your ideas! Also amazing are all the links you manage to put into this post, ie -the book suggestions. Some of those will be on my list of accomplishments next year! Thanks.

And the Sea Ranch Chapel! I stumbled upon the place quite by accident about a decade ago, and it forever changed my ideas about buildings… no longer just boxes!

Kudos on all your accomplishments, Alyson (not least of which are the acts of remembering and sharing them here)! Question: did your Inner Circle really disband? I was looking forward to coming back in the new year…! Guess I am just going to have to get your new book, instead… However, it was the monthly call to check in that I will really miss. I sure did appreciate that sense of accountability that phone call represented.

Way to go Alyson! I plan on my 07 Celebration on this Saturday. (I thought the frog was about conquering things…..”eat that frog”? Funny how a viewer interprets so many different ways!)

A monster list of accomplishments, for sure! Another year-end personal review process was spotted today in a NYTimes article by Michael Melcher– another helpful nudge to sit down and do this! http://shiftingcareers.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/26/year-end-review-with-yourself/

Chrissy: Thanks for the book referral. Sue, Ascender, Lisa: The motivational cards were a blast to make. I think I cranked out about 20 of them. It was a terrific, short creative project that was a diversion to “real work” for me. 100% necessary. The key is to not get caught up in creating stuff to motivate you and, instead, to just do it! Lisa: Yes, frogs are WAY cool! Everyone who has read “Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas” knows that. My frog stamp is probably my favorite–what a great shape.

I just finished reading a great book called Fables From The Mudd by the talented author Erik Quisling. His website is http://www.erikquisling.com This book is about taking life too seriously, bedtime stories for adults. I love children books, and I always wanted children like books but for adults…Now Erik has brought it to life! These philosophical tales are the perfect mix of dark humor and simple yet shrewd observations of the human condition. Merry Christmas to all!
