Patrick and I took the Mondo Beyondo, Dreaming Big course a year ago. It was interesting, but we were real busy at the time and didn't give it our best effort. I did keep a few good ideas from the class, but the main one (and point of the class, duh) is to make a huge, gigantic list of all of your wildest dreams and then post it out to the universe in the act of sorta saying it out loud and really announcing what you want. It is essentially a bucket list, just like the one Mom has us do each Christmas, but you are encouraged to dig deep and list things that are your wildest dreams (big or small), even if you're not sure you'll ever accomplish them. I've been feeling compelled to write a new one because I think 2011 might just be our best year yet.
1. Practice yoga daily.
2. Go vegetarian twice a week.

4. Become a family of 4.
5. Maybe be a family of 5 someday.

7. Pursue higher education.
8. Use my nursing degree to really, really help needy, sick people (and not just big fatties who are recovering from heart surgery b/c they are unhealthy, although I know they need help too).
9. Find a non-profit that could utilize expertise from both Patrick and I's career field and work with them so that we can travel together, help others and see the world.

25. Live closer to my sisters.
26. Help take care of my parents when they retire.
