I'm a big advocate of writing down your goals, and being accountable for them. I think that's part of why I love having a blog so much. I'm forced to evaluate what I do, and why I'm doing it, because I have quite a few people watching. It's a scary thought, but it's also incredibly empowering. Which is why I'm sharing some of my tangible goals with you today.
I have a lot of things that I would like to accomplish in 2013, but I always find easier to make my goals concrete, rather than...arbitrary? I suppose that's the right word...for example, instead of saying I want to lose weight this year, I would say, I'm going to lose 20 pounds this year. See? That's a much more concrete, and doable goal, I think.
That being said, I've actually done one of those 101 Things in 1001 Days posts, but it was honestly a little difficult to keep up with. So, instead, here are 13 things I want to do in 2013.

I know that, of all things, New Year's resolutions are controversial (really? I don't get it), but I still love them. Obviously I have a whole bunch of other things that I want to do this year, along with a few goals that are more like values that I want to concentrate on, but I think I'll keep those private.
