It’s a New Year and I can’t help but try to start again. We all have dreams of being better, smarter, and more disciplined. However, right now I seem to be asking a lot of the same old questions with a new flavor. My current top 10:

1. How can I make the most money with minimum work? How can I make a living from a creative endeavor that has a flexible schedule? Is that just wishful thinking? (Ok, that’s more than one question)
2. Is the future of our society a “Godless” society based on Atheism and a “religion” based on reason? After reading an article about New Athesim in Wired magazine and a great talk with my mom — maybe.
3. Where should I travel for my 30th birthday? One of my best friends went to India to celebrate her 30th and she inspired me to plan my own trip. My requirements - swimming, adventure, and a fruity cocktail.
4. Why do I have this crazy knot in the center of my back in between my shoulder blades that never goes away? What can I do to get rid of it? Acupuncture? Get a hot Swedish man named Sven to rub it away?
5. How do I create daily rituals and a spiritual practice that fulfills me?
6. Should I go to graduate school? It is beginning to feel like it might be time. There is no easy answer — what would I study? Can I afford it? Yikes.
7. How many sugar cookies can I eat in one sitting? Answer: 6. I know it’s scary.
8. How do you begin to build a thriving financial life? Retirement? Buy a House? Or more importantly — buy the new iphone?
9. Where should we move? Chicago? Philly? San Fran? Bali? Yemen? So many options . . .
10. Why do people like MySpace? I just don’t get it.

My list goes on and on, but I have resolved not to answer any of these questions today. Maybe that is the true answer. I’ll keep you updated.
