I freakin love this!! My current blog grew out of a journalling practice I started of asking my 60-year-old self for advice (this was, of course, before I turned 60 :-). It turned out my future self had answers to all kinds of life's little questions... and some not-so-little ones.

On my list of A-worthy accomplishments one year from now:

*You actually followed through and created enough income from your writing and membership site to be able to leave your job BEFORE your 66th birthday! You go, girl!

*You paid off all of your non-mortgage debt! That is jaw-dropping in itself, but the fact that you really persisted when it came to becoming better educated about money and set up systems to automate your way out of debt is probably worthy of an A+. You are now officially a financially-savvy person. Bet you never thought you'd say THAT about yourself, right?

*You came through the toughest year of your life as a Mom. Staying upbeat and supportive of Sarah as she progressed through her chemo treatments and surgeries was so hard - so many days you just wanted to cry and go to bed and hope it would all be better when you woke up. But girl, you're a fighter - both you and Sarah came through this stronger because of the woman you became during the process.

No hat tip to the Zanders for this exercise?
