I loved it! I will be taking your advice for the Hawaii calendar and dressing in the prints. I have to say, good idea about the salad I already add the pineapple but maybe I'll include coconut and dried cranberries next, yum! Nothing drives my force more each week then going into work and knowing I need to be in Hawaii again- SOON at that. So my goal at this moment is keeping that paycheck coming so I can make that flight again! Not much of a goal as I really need my job for more then just that:>) I like the idea of setting goals... I think I forgot how to do that as life sometimes gets to busy for us to think about ourselves. When I was much younger I often made a list of to do's and wants or must haves in my life, and I would see to it that something would get crossed off each month or by the end of the year. I wonder what caused the slow down with me? Well Lori, you have opened my mind to those thoughts again. Baby Steps... Thank you for choosing my photo it's one of my favorites and it suits this blog perfect. Love you and keep writing! Linda This blog was really refreshing. I loved it!

I guess like spirits think alike :-) Hi Chania Girl – I did not read your “Footsteps” post, but I’m sure going to read it now. I guess like spirits think alike :-)

You didn't by any chance read my post a few weeks back "<a href="http://www.living-happiness.com/2009/06/footsteps-in-dark.html" rel="nofollow">Footsteps in the Dark</a>"? It was about this very thing. And started with the same quote! So glad I've found your little spot in this blogosphere. I love this post because it’s so very true.

I'm glad you enjoyed. Can I just share a quick story with you? I just had a wonderful massage today and while my favorite massage therapist was working her magic on me, I told her about my blog and gave her the URL. As I was paying in the office, I noticed that she had an electric keyboard on her desk with a piano music book. I asked her if she was learning piano and she responded with two words..."baby steps". She hadn't read my blog yet. Twilight zone or universe pulling like spirits together? I'm still a little freaked out :-) Sara – You’re very welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed.

I loved your examples about taking small steps to your goal/dreams. The one about Hawaii was great. You made it seem simple, easy to do and creative. What do I dream of doing? More creative writing. I think I'll look back through my journals and pull some writings out from them...who knows maybe even put them up on my blog. It's a start. Thanks for this post:~) Lori,

Most of us don't like leaving our comfort zones no matter what age (18, 28, 38, 58...), but oh, the places we can visit once we do! @ Caroline - There's definitely a time for just being, and sometimes a time for moving. I try to think of setting goals as just my way of telling the universe that I'm ready to start the journey. Being open to arriving at a completely different destination than what I originally plugged into my mental GPS is the next step.

I live by baby steps. My problem is that I am not a big picture thinker. I get so overwhelming easily. I am not a planner or a goal setter. I find that when I set goals for myself they are unreachable. Then I am devastated when I don't get what I wanted. Right now I have a dream of being a professional photographer. I have a good camera and set up a photoblog so my work can be viewed. But when it comes to trying to figure out what will become of this...I can't wrap my head around it. So what I have been doing is just "being" in the moment. I am not planning the future of this dream. I just ask the universe to open doors for me when it knows that I am ready to walk through...
