Pam Kadach's Will Do 2014!

My 2014 “Will Do” List

Personal:

First and foremost I will stop listening to the voice in my head that always tells me it is okay to settle for “good enough”. It’s time for me to be my biggest fan and to do that means to push myself out of my comfort zone and know that even if I fail; I failed by trying something.

I will place a higher priority of personal growth through reading more. Knowledge is power.

I will make more time for the things I love to do (primarily scrap booking and card making)

Health & Fitness:

I will continue to value my “me” time by training at SVPT with my trainer and taking advantage of the awesome small group training classes available there. I will continue to embrace what I learn there.

I will put myself in challenge groups to help push me out of my comfort zone fitness wise and to learn just how hard I truly can work with my body.

I will continue moving forward in learning how to nourish my body. I strive to have relationships with people, not food.

I will place a higher emphasis on yoga for both the physical and mental benefits it brings me.

Career:

I will apply myself more at my job. I will move past my grief and be a better leader at work in Chris’ absence. I will take pride in helping keep his dream alive. I will be a better team player.

This is the year I will take the time to research career options for my future and come up with a firm plan for furthering my education.

Financial:

I will work at curbing impulse shopping. Even if I can afford it, I don’t always need it. Pause before purchasing.

I will continue to utilize my TFSA account by maximizing the yearly contributions. I will continue to build our nest egg. It is important to me that our retirement is secure. However it is equally important for me to learn the balance of saving for the future but living in the now.

Top 10 Books of 2013!

My personal pick for the Top 10 Books that I read in 2013! 

First off let me start by saying "Wow! Was this ever hard to do!" You think it would be easy but no way! With the help of GoodReads I was reminded of some of the fabulous reads that I had read earlier this year. Even at this very moment this still feels like a daunting task and I am now waiting for the moment of "How did I forget that one?" Anyway here they are in no particular order......

Because I was unable to actually narrow it down to Ten Books I decided to be sneaky and create a new author section. Sarah Jio I just found this last year and I love her books. Blackberry Winter was my first and my favourite. FYI! If you post a comment on her books on GoodReads she responds... so wickedly awesome! I love Philippa Gregory and especially any book that involves the River family. I must check out my family tree and see if some how I am related to them! 

Yes I am being sneaky again..... self help just can't go in a Top 10 List so I decided that they get their own category as well. After all this is my blog and I get to make my own rules.... for the love of books give me a break! 

If you have read any of these books I would love to hear your thoughts minus spoiler alerts! If this list prompts you to pick one of these books up, please let me know. If you are a book lover which most likely you are if you got this far down the page then come on over to www.facebook.com/noveltease and give us a like!
