When people learn about my journey they always ask about my methods and goals.  I myself often forget and get bogged down by unfortunate missteps.  Those are the times when I realize I need to revisit my original intent.  When I first started, I wrote a mission statement of how I was going to spend my 52 weeks.  Here it is:

1) Put a sense of adventure back into dating
2) While looking, learn and grow
    a. Discover and experience methods of finding him, especially new methods, to see which ones are most fruitful.
    b. Understand who works for me
    c. Learn how to evolve as a person
3) Prepare for marriage. Explore what it takes to have a good, healthy and lasting marriage
4) Embrace my singleness. If marriage is in my near future –and I hope it is, these are my last days of being a single woman,
     so appreciate this time and live it to the fullest.
5) Don’t go it alone
    a. get others to help you, hold you accountable
    b. Discover and share how other singles can benefit from what I’ve learned.
    c. Remember God is with you for every step. You can get his help or ignore him. But with every step know you are choosing one.
6) Enjoy the journey!
