click download and it will download to your nook to go read it click on your
library click on my stuff click on my files click on my files again then click

My most ambitious goal for the new year is to try my hardest and give my all trying to make the junior olympic volleyball team. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy most ambitious goal for 2013 is to begin to finally start writing down all the stories in my head! Take the step toward my childhood dream of being a writer...
ReplyDeleteMy most ambitious goal is to lose all the unhealthy weight i have and to get healthier.
ReplyDeleteMy most ambitious goal of 2013 is to help my beautiful 14 year old daughter realize that her beauty comes more from her heart than from her physique. As a young woman she has taken to cutting because she is teased for being a rare beautiful red head. She doesnt understand her own beauty that is within her personality and heart. C Barrett
ReplyDeleteI am sending good thoughts her way and yours! I am a red head, and one day she will realize that she is unique! Being 14 is tough. I am glad she has a mom that wants her to see herself as beautiful!
DeleteI am a previous cutter as is my best friend of 17 years, and it is as hard habit to break. We had each other to help a book called Cut by Patricia McCormick is ok, but it depends on the situation, I remember reading it and seeing my friend more than me, it also depends what she cuts for; blood or pain. I cut for pain because there was so much emotional pain I could not control, but I could control physical pain I was inflicting, so mine were shallow and never suicidal. Counseling will help, and not just her, but so you can understand it and better know how to treat it.I still fight it, but when my husband told me I was hurting him by hurting myself and threatened not only to cut himself, but deep enough to scar and on his face and how much I hurt him, stressed him, and to see him with tears in his eyes, I knew I had too much to lose. I go to him if I get the urge, but its hard having no one to talk to that understands your feelings as to why cutting is rational to you! If she wants someone who's been there to talk to, she can email me! I'm a good listener. aubreyaholm2009@gmail.com
DeleteI thank you for your sharing, hearing that someone has the courage to stop cutting is inspirational. I do actually understand the needs behind the cutting, it still hurts to witness. I will share your email address with her and show her your response to my post. We are reading Kira's series together and learning to open our mother-daughter relationship to more magical love than ever before. I know she will get through this mountain of emotional termoil, I am praying that it is with the knowledge that there is beauty in her soul, heart and the world. Again thank you Aubrey and Lesly for your replys and prayers. God Bless, C. Barrett for my daughter Miranda
DeleteI emailed you :)
DeleteMy computer died for a bit, so if she did try, or even you, I am not trying to ignore. I feel horrible, but things got crazy, so if you guys did, please resend, I'm still willing to chat.
DeleteMy most ambitious goal is to have one. I never really involve myself in anything. Instead of taking the wheel on life im just costing along in the back seat. My goal is to figure out what to do with my life. To be involved and live it to the fullest. Im going to take the wheel for the first time!
ReplyDeleteP.S.

ReplyDeleteMine is to finish losing the rest of my weight that I have gained in the last year. I have loss a total of 27 lbs so far still have 25 more to go.
ReplyDeletemine is to final feel like im in control of my life, between school kids and demands of everyone around me i have felt like im a slave to my obligations. This year im taking control and going to live for me!
ReplyDeleteMy most ambitious goal is to finish college and get a better job and move my family 1900 miles away to a place that will pay me more and give us all a better life.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. I can't find a job that uses my college degree. Good jobs are hard to come by.

ReplyDeleteI want to find a better job so I can feel independent and secure. I want to start a life with my fiance and begin what I hope to be a life full of love with him.
ReplyDeleteMy most ambitious goal of 2013 will be to evolve into an organized and independent young adult as I transition from life with my parents to life as a college freshman.
ReplyDeleteMy goals are to listen more, talk less, quit basing my self worth in what others tell me or think of me and also, try to choke down more veggies and less chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI dont have a "goal" for this year, i have a way of living. I have started to realize what i have and have learned to not take it for granted. im only 13, and i have realized more than the average adult has, the one and only rule anybody needs in their life- Never in a million years take anything for granted because it can be taken away from you in a second and you dont always get a second chance in life.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a goal in particular. I feel like every day u should strive to take the next step to bettering ur life and being the person u so long to be. I have many goals but I no that there not just for this year thee for life like always be the best mom I can be. Be kind to all and keep an oppen mined that others do what they do bast on there own reaction to life not because there bad people. Finish school and provide as a single mom. Life is only as dark as we let it be so I will strive to always stay positive and happy. So far it has worked and I feel stronger as a person every day and will continue to reach for my goals this year and be te best person for me and my little girl.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading each and every one of these comments and am amazed at all of the openess. I'm going to do an extended blog post at the end of the week with more details. You are all so amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy Goal for this year is to become a better me. By whatever means I need to. Weather it be to worry less or just get out and do something fun or crazy, or maybe do nothing at all. That's the point is to be the me I want to be and not the me the world says I should be!!
ReplyDeleteOne of my goals this year is to read the entire series, so when does book 5 come out? I'm done and waiting. Lol
ReplyDeletelol, literacy is a very noble goal :P. Book 5 will be out in early summer :)
DeleteThat's a long wait... I'm being tortured, by your books spirit lol
DeleteIt's not so long :). Did you check out Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith?
DeleteDo you have any books to suggest? I'm currently re-reading the Catcher in the Rye and then starting on The 12 Tribes of Hattie.
My most ambitious goal is to allow myself to be.loved. No questioning why, no over thinking. Just letting myself go. Ive spent my life being guarded and have finally realized because of this I really havent lived at all.
ReplyDeleteI actually have a couple goals, both of which are important to me. I am a 33 year old mother of 2 wonderful kids(ages 14 & 9) and wife. My husband owns his own business which I help run. He just had a tumor removed from his bladder today and we now are waiting for the results of the biopsy. We are very nervous because both of his brothers have died of cancer. One of my goals is to quit smoking and help him quit as well because that is the main cause of cancer in your bladder. I also plan on going to college and get a nursing degree to help better our lives, my children's, my husband's and my own as well. Between running our business and everything the kids are involved in, our lives and schedules are hectic and we are always on the go. Going to school and quitting smoking will also show my kids that they can do anything they want as long as they are determined and disciplined. It may not be easy and be hard work, but it will definitely be worth it
ReplyDeleteMy most important/ambitious goal for 2013 is to find out who I am and learn to be comfortable in my own skin.
ReplyDeleteI want to quit smoking and finish the book I am writing and feel more positive by taking control of my life!
ReplyDeleteI also want to let the stress and power I give to others go away and take a step back and think with more logic at the times I need to. I want to be able to work and help out my amazing husband so we can find a a house and hopefully get pregnant this year!
ReplyDeleteMy most ambitious goal is to finally publish my magical short stories that my children have helped me create over the years. Its one of my biggest dreams. To offer the world a place of escape. :)
ReplyDelete- Kahlua-
