Today I attended an online seminar from "The Energy Project" - a pleasant reminder to set goals, and to make time for important but non-urgent stuff. Making sure the non-squeaky wheels get greased, so you can roll towards big things you want to accomplish.
Afterwards I took a few moments, sequestered myself in an ngmoco:) conference room, and assessed my progress through life thus far.

Now:

Here's a picture of myself for context - where I work, and the frumpy expression on my face as I was using my computer.
