I'm keeping it simple for next year, these are My Ten Commandments for 2009.
1. Get more exercise: OK This is on my list every year since high school but next year I will add a dance class or trip to my neighborhood gym at least twice a week to coincide with my in home work outs. I think the combination of getting out to be with other people and exercising will do me much good in 09.
2. Give Thanks: There are a few people in my sphere that are devout referrers I will say
big Thank yous to these sincere people that thoughtfully pass on my name to those looking to buy or sell in Hampton Roads.
3. Watch what I eat and feed my family: I have always looked out for myself but I do not often police my families eating habits. I will buy more fruit and replace the junk food in the cabinets with healthy snacks. And my girls will be forced to eat more veggies this year. Except for the holidays, birthdays, and occasional big Sunday meal My family is going on a meal makeover like it or not.
4. Social Time: I have a great group of friends that I will vow to hang out with much more. I am not a social phone talker but I will try to keep in touch with my girlfriends more.
5. Romance: I will make time for my husband and find many fun activities that will bring us together.
6. Busi
ness Plan: I will follow my 08 business plan and tweak the areas that were weak and get stronger with the areas that work.
7. Advertising and Marketing: I will cut what doesn't work and is a waste of money and focus my efforts on the areas that yield the greatest return for the dollar.
8. Family: I vow to spend more time with my kids and do a variety of fun activities and be on them like white on rice when it comes to school work and behavior.
9. Blog: I promise to Blog and entertain social networking like a crazy person. You will fine me on all the favorites tweeting, poking, blogging, and posting.
10. Dont forget to Rest and take a breath: I will take time off, take time to relax, and sleep.

All good things! Consider posting this in your home somewhere that you will see it often for reminders. :)
A great list. I showed up to steal ideas for my list.
Hi DeeDee, you've got a great plan going on. May abundance and joy follow you throughout the New Year and beyond. Cheers!
Great ideas DeeDee....you are on the right track!
We must be twins, separated at birth! Those are pretty much my Ten Commandments for 2009! Uncanny. I especially need to focus more on my family. Thanks for sharing.
Great list, pretty much the same as mine. I think we all start the same... lets see if we can stick to more in 2009 than in 2008 ;)
Hi DeAndrea, Great commitments for 2009. I guess we can all hold each other accountable for our goals? Have a great year!
DeeDee (what a fun name!)
Wow... great and complete plan. I agree with all and will dedicate time to congregate and worship. LOL @ Kelsey Barlow ...
Thank you for posting!
Hi Dee Dee - most of your list could well be the one I write for myself. This year, I vow to put a plan in writing and to really work it.
Happy New Year,
Ann
Hi Dee Dee,
I like the idea of getting out to exercise with others. I miss that- they help to hold us accountable too! What kind of dance class are you thinking about?
I would also add to keep a positive attitude and your spirits optimistic!
Great post....and I second the thought that this should be printed and posted somewhere in your house for daily viewing!
Thanks for posting. Like the excerise.
Kim- I'm thinking kickboxing twice a week.
Everyone- thanks for your comments.
Nice well thought out list. Good luck in sticking to it!
Dee Dee, those are great aspirations and mine are close to the same! It is going to take good time management to work your business and you should, social network like crazy and spend more time with your husband, family and kids though. Remember what is truly important to you and good luck with a very wonderful 2009!
Dee Dee, well if you do #1 - #9, I don't see how you can possibly do #10!! He he. Anyway, I like #1 and that's a great place to network also. Most folks who work out at gyms are prospective home buyers/sellers. Good luck, I know you'll do great. Let your light SHINE in 2009!
