Be brave and stop listening to the voices in my head that tell me I can't be a successful person in something other than my present career. I am going to finish my book I started just last night. I am going to claim my rightful place OVER my finances instead of my finances over me. I am going to take my husband on vacation where I want to go. Whew, I feel empowered just writing that.

How very brave of you? Good luck on your journey for forgiveness.

I've been thinking hard about this....and it came to me on my way to work today.
I am going to FORGIVE MYSELF for having an abortion almost 30 years ago...and learn to love myself!
I think I've beat myself up long enough over this. I think it's time.
AND I'm going to love myself enough to listen to my heart and get out of an empty relationship I've been in for almost 10 years.
OUTRAGEOUS, eh?

Get a sitter and take salsa lessons with my husband!

Have fun with this! As a triathlete and coach I encourage you to enjoy the journey. You will learn so much about your body and what drives you .... and it's a lifestyle with many angles. The first person I worked with lost 100 pounds and went to World's three years in a row as an age grouper... and she started at age 48! Hats off to you...sounds like you are well on your way.

Fall madly in love again and have this man be the love of my life 'til death do us part!

I admire you girls like nothing else.

Change is scary, but its well worth it: Your family and life is developing, so it seems that its time to choose an environment that's better suited to both. You're seeing the signs: I think its wise to act upon them. I'm sure you'll become very happy and settled once you've updated your lifestyle to suit your needs!

Go to Belgium and visit friends before heading to Paris to watch the French Open.

I want to work less and have more time for my family. This will mean less money in the household, which scares the heck out of me, but it will also mean a calmer, happier schedule. I'm still on maternity leave and haven't spoken to my boss yet, but by stating my intention here I hope I have the courage to follow through on this desire.

I will respect my body and give it what it needs. I signed up to do a 30-day raw vegan program. I've been playing with, reading about, and trying out living and raw foods for a couple of years. This is the first time I've actually told myself, "I can do it." For this NC barbecue-loving gal, this is outrageous. And I can't wait.

I want to re-sculpt my body. I've let myself go to such a degree that my body is unrecognizable. Rather than surgery, I'll try Pilate's, Yoga and a diet over hall. Giving up chocolate seems outrageous to me, but I can do it.

I'm with you, sister. I quit my stable yet hellish job the day before Wachovia failed, but I'm making it - by the skin of my teeth so far, but I am. I'm doing better work with fewer distractions and have been able to get still and contemplate myself for a change.

I've never been focused on money, but this year I want to make a Big Pot of it! It's time!

Good for you, Karen! My tip? Find people who bring out the best in YOU!

Fall so madly in love I embarrass myself!

Get engaged. And that IS outrageous for me.

I sort of already did my completely outrageous thing for 2009 at the very end of 2008. I bought a 2008 Porsche Cayenne S. I am very financially conservative so this was an absolutely CRAZY purchase in my book until I drove it, discovered what it feels like to drive something with some real horsepower and fell in love with it. Now I want to learn to drive a standard and go on one of those drive a Ferrari experiences this year.

Attend law school at night after working 8+ hours a day. I also want to keep playing in my professional classical ensemble.
