Daring to Plan

purplerabbitIn the last several years, every time I made plans they have gone horribly awry. It has made me, the one who always had a plan, afraid to even have goals sometimes.
This week's Brezny's Horoscope for Aquarius suggests that now would be a good time to change that. As the poster child for Aquarius (6 planets in), Brezny's predictions for me have always been scarily accurate. So with that in mind, I am trying to open up and have dreams/plans again.
My birthday is Feb. 13th, so I am just past the midway point in my personal solar year. So, in hopes to accomplish the following by my birthday:
I could use a little help from my friends in some of these. Particularly, I am trying to think about how and best to accomplish #4. What does the world need from me at this point in my life? What do you, my community most want to see me do? Ultimately, it is my decision, but I would love feed back. I have had several folks suggest they would like me to resume my calling as a magical teacher. Others have said they missed my poly activism and education. There are a hundred ideas in my head but I want to be able to find a focus and stick with it.
Your ideas/ desires?

My birthday is Feb. 13th, so I am just past the midway point in my personal solar year. So, in hopes to accomplish the following by my birthday:
- Finish my novel. (At least 1st draft, preferably at least some rewrites by then too.)
- Begin and accomplish a major portion of the work needed to begin writing my dissertation, such as transcribing interviews and reading the theoretical material again.
- Get our financial situation stabilized. (Bankruptcy complete, student loans out of default, bills being paid.)
- Find and do community work that brings me joy and helps others.
