MID YEAR RESOLUTIONS

Ever since I can recall I’ve been one to march to the beat of my own drum, so instead of simply making resolutions once at the start of every year I make it a point to challenge myself more regularly (usually twice a year, sometimes even quarterly).

So around July 1st I start reflecting on the first half of the year and naturally find myself re-evaluating the goals that I set for myself in January. Of course I also challenge myself with a few new aspirations and this year my plate is pretty full.

I think that along with devoting more time to my passion for travel photography my main mid-year resolution this year is to refocus my attention on the charity and philanthropy work that sadly had to take a back a back seat during graduate school.

I’ve been reading a lot about “Project Red” which assists the Global Fund to fight AIDS, I recently upgraded my American Express to the AMEX Red which gives 1% of your total spending to help fight AIDS in Africa. I’ve yet to get my first “REDtreat” which are bonuses for spending a pre-determined amount on the card; I’m hoping it will be a spa
certificate like the site mentions…. Who knows?

Since my old Ipod crashed and burned maybe I should look into getting the Red Ipod Nano. I’m assuming it would be best for the gym given that it is so lightweight, and of course a part of the profits goes to help fight against AIDS in Africa which kind of helps rationalize owning 2 Ipods.
