I am a goal setter, a list and schedule maker, and I write down EVERYTHING. Yeah…I’m that kind of person. Sometimes I get so many thoughts and ideas in my head that I can’t lay down to sleep at night. Often times, I find myself grabbing a pen and paper (or maybe even my iPhone) to take notes of all the things on my head at the moment just so I can relax and know that I won’t forget what I’d been thinking of all day.
Inspired by Abby Grace’s blog post the other day on goals, I decided to write down my own set of goals for myself and my business.
Sex and The City Stylized Shoot, Chicago, City View Loft, 2015 Behind the scenes photo taken by Elizabeth Greve Photography
Liz’s 2015 (and near future) Goals:

– Walk more with Charlie and stretch every day. (I’ve wanted to do this for YEARS now…about time I do it)
– Join a gym or yoga studio. (I have broken so many bones. I really need to strengthen my body)

I’ve got some CRAZY big dreams, but I’ve always believed that if you work at it long enough and hard enough, you’re capable of anything!
Cheers to making these dreams become a reality! You never know! 🙂
