Meet you at SXSW this year?
Hi Amanda!
Happy New Year! I spent some time writing down my goals for the next few months and the year, but I really appreciate how you’ve broken things down… you have inspired me to do the same!
Take care always, Erika
Thanks Erika! Amazing how the internet works… passing inspiration around. Can’t wait to see your goals – will you post them?
Keep on changing the world,
A.

Hi Amanda,
I’m really glad I bumped into your site here, very inspirational considering I’ve only read about 3 paragraphs worth of written content!
I was just wondering if you used a certain system from somewhere to do ‘My Life’s Wheel’ or is this something you did on your own? Is there a process you go through to sort out these goals?
Thanks, and look forward to your Twitter posts!

Hi Stephan – thanks for the comment! You can Google life wheel and find one with categories that appeal most (one example is here). I liked thinking about my bucket list dreams in the context of the life wheel to help me live a full life – one I can look back on and be proud!
