Happy New Year!......Twelve In Twelve
Those who have been following me for a
while know that each year I suggest instead of doing New Year’s Resolutions you
do something called Twelve In Twelve. It’s a list of 12 things you endeavor to
do over the next 12 months. As much as I would love to say I achieved all 12 of my 2011 goals, I can’t.
I decided to be transparent and tell you how I did. If you did this with me
last year please evaluate yourself as well. I went back and pulled my list and
pasted it below. If I achieved the goal, it has a Y by it. If I didn’t, it has
a N.
N Land a voice over agent and increase my success in this profession I love so much.
Although, I still don’t have that kick a** agent I'm looking for. But I am still doing voice overs which is a blessing within itself. Check me out at www.jaehendersononline.com.
Y Finish writing and publish my first book.
DONE…book #2, Someday, Too, will be out in January of 2012.
Y Become more active in my church.
DONE…I am now a member of the media ministry, youth ministry and greeters ministry.
N Write and fully produce a music single (I doubt I’ll perform it since I don’t sing or rap). Hmmm.....this one didn’t go so well. I met with a producer, he gave me some tracks but I never wrote the songs. There’s no excuse. I just didn’t do it. So, maybe I didn’t want it as bad as I thought I did.
Y Continue to seek knowledge about the opposite sex and the art of dating.
This is an ongoing process but I’m proud to say over the past year I learned a lot about myself and men. I even told a few people who no longer needed to be in my life to politely go. I wish them the best, no hard feelings. I still have mad love for them but we are no longer good for one another. One of the things you need to know when dating is when to walk away. I’ve gotten a lot better at that one.
N Sky dive.
Didn’t even attempt to do this. Jumping out of a plane has lost it's allure. I'd rather jump out of my bed and work on my literary career each morning. Maybe I'll get my girls together and we'll go just for kicks one day.
N Attract 5,000 readers or more on www.imagoodwoman.com by year’s end.
This one was a little unrealistic considering that I don't post all that often but I do have over 4,500 Facebook friends. Are you one of them? (-:
N Create a work out regiment and stick to it.
I failed miserably at this one. I bought some great work out DVDs but they’re still in the wrapper.
Y Spend more time with my family, specifically the little people in my life.
I did better. I'm actually ringing in the New Year with my nieces and nephews.
Y Become a better public speaker.
I’ve gotten better but not only that I taught public speaking for a semester at The University of Memphis!
Y Take a trip to a new and exciting country.
I took a cruise and got to briefly experience Ocho Rios, Jamaica. I hope to spend a little more time in my destinations next time.
N Learn to ride a horse.
I didn’t go near anything that looked like a horse.
I achieved 6 out of 12 goals. Do I deem myself a failure? No, but this definitely tells me I need to try harder or delete a few things off my list because they aren't something I really want to do. I believe I completed the majority of the ones I set that were designed to help advance my career and/or make me a better person. The ones I threw in there for fun such as sky diving and horse back riding I can do anytime. Although, now I want to get better at setting a goal and accomplishing it.
It's your turn to complete your Twelve In Twelve for 2012. New Year's Resolutions are out. This is much better. Follow your dreams people. Have a prosperous and great New Year!
