Integration and 2013 Goals

The word for 2013 is integration. Integration as in "combining and coordinating separate parts or elements into a unified whole". This is the piece that's been missing from my life for the past few years. I've been busy, busy, busy but not always in a good way... in a productive way... in a way that will enable me to achieve my goals. Don't get me wrong, I'm wicked good at checking things off of my to-do list. The problem is some of those items should never have been on the list to start with. I'm getting better at saying "no".

As in past years there are two main projects in 2013, Gypsy Wolf Marketing and Dakini Dreams. The big difference this year is all of my 2013 goals support these two projects in one way or another.

Instead of reviewing goals on a quarterly basis as in years past, I'll be reviewing goals and making any necessary adjustments on a monthly basis this year.

So without further ado...
