New Year, New Focus

I have decided to ressurrect this blog for two reasons.


One is the challenges set by Ali Edwards through her Life Artist Newsletter at http://aliedwards.typepad.com.

One Word Challenge

My 2007 word is ORGANISE.

I would like to organise my study, thinking, reading, chores, home and family ( just kidding). I wish to bring peace and calm to my world in what is going to be a very busy year - I'm studying, Rach in year 3, jay in Year 1 and Miles starts preschool.


The second is to record my reading for 2007. I have joined the 2007 TBR Challenge at http://cafe-books.blogspot.com.
