I first read this idea from Daniel Threlfall’s blog where he wrote about the Five Benefits of a Personal New Year’s Summit.

A Personal New Year’s Summit. Doesn’t it sound so intriguing?  So official?  So diplomatic?  It really is quite simple.  Just a time set aside from the normal schedule. “Alone time”; away from distractions in order to reflect on the past year, pray, plan, and make goals for the coming year.

This is a yearly event I plan to begin in my own life as we wrap up with the year 2011 (only 3 days and several hours left before it’s 2012!).   Tomorrow, I have a date with me, myself , and I may tag along too  I have volunteered my mom, my aunt, my cousin, and my brother to babysit my darling babe.

My husband has sanctioned and funded the summit so I am set to go

• Location: Coffee/Bakery shop with free WI-FI
• Time: 4 Hours
• Tools:

1. My Bible
2. Laptop
3. EBook by Amy Lynn Andrews, Tell Your Time
4. Journal & Calendar
5. Breakfast & Lunch $ (for Panera Bread)

I skimmed through Tell Your Time earlier in the fall and I really liked how concise and helpful her writing was about Time Management. Thirty pages for $2.99 is a worthwhile book to read. I was able to read it at one sitting and knew that I had to re-read it at the end of the year for such a time as a Personal Summit!

So if you’re interested, just click on the logo and you will be directed to her site.  I purchased mine through Nook and was able to get a $.99 deal! Sweet! So you may want to also check out the online booksellers (Barnes & Nobles and Amazon Kindle).

What about you? How do you plan to close out 2011?

I know I have so much to be grateful for this past year! And it would be grand to reflect on them and Praise God.  And I am pretty excited about praying and planning some goals to aim for the coming year.
