To Purpose!

Posted on the 20 December 2014 by Rarasaur @rarasaur

Without counting on milestones or holding my breath for pardons, I have exactly one more year to do in State Prison as of today. It is my countdown anniversary!

In celebration, I've decided to compile a list of goals for the coming year-regulated by circumstance and moderation by mandatory limitations. As always, I am counting on you to keep me on track and hold me accountable. My word for this new year is PURPOSE. I will find it, forge it, and live with it, wherever I go. What's your word for the new year? What are your goals? Which goals do we share?
