I think I lost focus\/motivation after folks said they were getting bored with my photo selection in mid-April. Hopefully I&#8217;ll pick it back up next year &#8211; but maybe just take a photo a day &#8211; rather than a photo of me each day.<\/p>\n<p>So far I did finish rebuilding a new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.encounterthis.com\">encounter website<\/a> as well as rebuilding the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.casadeblundell.com\">CasadeBlundell.com<\/a> website (with a lot of great help and insight from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.casadeblundell.com\/laurie\/\">my life<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ll easily meet my reading goal for the year. I&#8217;ve completed 10, almost finished with #11 and just received #12 and have #13-15 currently being shipped from Amazon.com.<\/p>\n<p>My last goals that I&#8217;m still worried about\/shooting for are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Finish losing weight. My goal weight is 205. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got about 20 more lbs to go.<\/li>\n<li>See 8 new community groups started at encounter.<\/li>\n<li>Get 4 new people on the sound or media shout rotation at encounter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So&#8230; all that said &#8211; what about my Bucket List? Well, I&#8217;m still thinking it though. I&#8217;ll give you one of them though&#8230; bungee jumping.<\/p>\n<p>Now how about you?
