Practice radical vulnerability\ Aim for being met 50/50 in all my relationships\ Support my body in being stronger\ Treat my writing with respect. Practice it, strengthen it\ Have more fun!\ Listen when people tell me about themselves. e.g., if someone says they don't think they're good enough for you, take their word for it, they probably aren't\ Take my vitamins\ Cook all the dried beans in my cupboards\ Stop feeling embarrassed by other peoples bad behavior. Remember their actions aren't my responsibility\ Stop looking for support in the form I want it and open my eyes to the many forms it's already presenting itself\ Be militant about gratitude\ Strive to remain present\ Submit at least one piece of writing for publication\ Apply for a writing residency\ Grow into my influence at work and in the world\ Watch the ways that old hurt seeps into conversation just because it's easy, not because it's genuine\ Remember the deep origins of wounds and stop letting lesser hurts and lesser people take the fall\ Encourage deeper thinking\ Get clear about who to confide in\ Get a car\ Return art with art\ Send more mail\ Travel more. Maybe out of the country, definitely through the middle of the U.S.\ Buy nicer underwear\ Get a new bed\ Trust my own love and turn some of that inward\ Remember all my siblings birthdays\ Go to the FemmeConference\ Remain open to the Holy\ Eat the foods my body likes\ Eat more than one meal a day\ Be intentional with my friendships\ Cultivate midwest manners and kindness where I live\ Bake cookies for neighbors\ Make more time for reading\ Explore the masculine edges of my Femme identity\ Spend a significant period of time away from San Francisco\ Pay all my bills\ Save some money\ Start processing whether or not I would ever want to have kids\ Make more room for intuition and follow it\ Consider forgiveness.

Practice radical vulnerability\ Aim for being met 50/50 in all my relationships\ Support my body in being stronger\ Treat my writing with respect. Practice it, strengthen it\ Have more fun!\ Listen when people tell me about themselves. e.g., if someone says they don't think they're good enough for you, take their word for it, they probably aren't\ Take my vitamins\ Cook all the dried beans in my cupboards\ Stop feeling embarrassed by other peoples bad behavior.
