I'll start first merely as a stepping stone/example. Some of my goals are: To read one non-fictional book a month for the next nine months. Of these non-fiction books I am including titles like: Love & Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs; America's Providential History by Mark A. Beliles & Stephen K. McDowell; and Albert Einstein's Biography. I have many ideas and topics written down for the others but no titles yet.
With each goal I would like everyone/myself to include how long they have had it, why it was made, what time period is given to achieve it, and is this a personal goal, group goal, or friend goal.
I have decided to read more to expand my vocabulary, increase my brain knowledge, find a means to get away from the tube, and to learn new things. I get excited when I am knowledgeable about something and I am yet not knowledgeable about enough! I chose to do my goal for nine months because I want it to start now, I think a year is too much of a challenge for me at this point, and my husband is deploying for eight months which means I need a goal! I have only had this challenge since a few weeks ago and I plan on achieving it by spending a little time reading each and every day.
As far as what reading the above has to do with femininity it's simply being a woman/women that seeks after strengthening my/our/their minds rather than doing things that keep us idle. Men can contribute too if they so choose.
Let me know what you think.
