**** 4/5 stars!  I really liked this book. Although it is geared towards teens, I totally felt like it applied to my life now. This book has great positive energy and is so motivating!! Stockman does a great job of walking the reader through setting up a life plan/goal and then showing how to accomplish that plan/goal.

I am definitely going to be reading this again in about 6 months when I am ready to re-evaluate my life plans and goals!!

Some of my favorite quotes:

"Your Personal  Vision

Start by thinking about what makes you Super You.  Ask yourself:
-What am I good at?
-What do I feel strongly about?
-What do I like doing?
-What makes me special?
-What are my passions?
-What do I want to do with my life?"

"Make your goals challenging, but possible!"

"Enthusiasm is infectious - give it to everyone you meet!"

"I will create win-win relationships by being true to myself, and appreciating others.  I will learn about myself through my relationships."

"Your intentions are like your personal vision, they are just for you.  So when you write them, be honest, kind, and true."

 This book really got me thinking about my life and my life plan.  It would have been great to have this when I was a teen so that I had more of a direction going through high school and college but I'm glad that I now have it as a resource to help direct and focus my life moving forward.

I recommend this book for teens and adults alike but caution that there are a few light swears.

I will be reading and reviewing Jolene Stockman's "The Jelly Bean Crisis" and  "Jawbreaker: Unlock the (U)niverse" and then will probably end with an author interview.  Read along with me so that you can submit any interview questions you may have.

The One Year-ish Plan

Recently, my best friend wrote a blog post about how she disliked being asked about her "5 year plan."  As she she put it, "...so much can happen in 5 years."  So true!!  Five years ago I couldn't get pregnant and I now have two kids, I had recently started working at my last job and now I am a stay at home mom, we were living in a tiny one bedroom apartment and now we (but really mostly the bank) own a house, and Mark was working part time but is now working full time.  Those are only some of the bigger things that have changed in our lives.  I suppose it is good to have a general idea of where I would like to be in five years, but so hard to predict when so many things -big, life changing things- are completely unpredictable and sometimes even uncontrollable.

My friend, instead, lays out her "one year-ish plan."  I really like the idea of the "one year-ish plan" that she came up with and have been thinking about it since I read her post.  One year is long enough to be able to accomplish bigger tasks and goals and at the same time short enough to be able to expect to see real results without too much unpredictability.


My one year-ish plan:

• Get back to pre-baby weight (or at least loose some weight!!)
• Clean my whole house including closets, boxes, drawers, and the like
• Learn how to make bone broth
• Have Talon completely potty trained (Yes, I realize I have no control over this but I still want it to happen!!)
• Sweep out my garage
• Wash my house windows (I should do these last two way more often...but here we are ;)
• Start taking classes towards my Accounting degree (Yep, I want to go into the accounting field and am super excited to go back to school for it!!!!)
• Improve my blog (...hopefully sooner rather than later)
• Take dance lessons again (this may be a stretch, but a girl can dream :)

What do you think about "5 year plans?"  What are some of the items on your "one year-ish plan?"
