1. Learn how to speak French. I've been hounding a friend from France to give me lessons but this time I'm actually going to follow through. Parlez-vous Francais?
2. Travel abroad - France, South Africa, Italy, Australia...just a few on my mind.
(Me in Paris, 2012)
3. REALLY learn how to blow out my hair...I keep blaming my poor efforts on a lack of arm muscle strength, but really it's a lack of patience. One of my favorite Blogs, The Londoner, did a tutorial a couple months ago that I might just use!

4. Finalize the Young Girls Empowerment Program I've been tweaking for over two years now at work. By day, I work as a School Counselor in NYC.
5. Pray more for people.
Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. Philippians 4:6-7 (msg)
6. Attend Colour Conference. A Revolution of Love. You should consider going, it is LIFE CHANGING!
(Colour London, 2013)
7. Start and finish every book I set out to read...especially the non-fiction ones I could learn something from. A few on my list include - Girls With Swords, Undaunted, One Thousand Gifts.
8. Follow through with this blog...journal more.
10. Start to Run...I know it's going to get me into the shape I want to be in, I just hate it!

11. Travel to Montauk...VACATION.
(My amazing friends...we traveled to Montauk like real NYCers over July 4th last summer)
12. Invite more people to church...HillsongNYC (stay tuned for Sunday Funday posts on the Blog)!
13. Turn the BIG 3-0 with grace, joy, and confidence. The best is yet to come!
(My 28th Birthday)
14. Fall in love...or just go on a few great dates :)
I know 14 is a high number and I'll be lucky if I master one of these, but I think if we don't set the bar high, we always live below our capacity.
What are some of your 14 for 2014?
Happy New Years Everyone!
