The Life Audit

While wandering around my local library a couple weeks ago, I happened upon a book called "The Life Audit."  I'll be honest, I didn't read the synopsis or anything before checking it out, it sounded interesting enough to me.

The book sat neglected in my library book bag, while I flipped through some sewing books I got and finished reading some fiction books that I got.  Last week I pulled out "The Life Audit" and started to flip through and read skim a few pages, and read the introduction.   Wow, it sounded fascinating.  I took Saturday to make photocopies of the charts in the back of the book.  (Yes, I debated going through and re-creating these in Word or Excel, but decided that was too time consuming and I was too cheap to spend the $15 on just the charts on the website.)

Today is the first time that I'm actually going through and starting to write my information down on the charts.  Granted, I haven't gotten very far yet, I've only filled out two pages, and already need to make another copy, but I have a feeling that this is going to be a fabulous thing to go through.

Examine me.  Examine life.   Get some direction back in my life, hopefully.   I am just feeling so hopeful.

Now I need to go and renew the book from the library as I know I won't be done with it, by the time it is due back on the 21st.  

I know that I'm not going to post lots of my answers here on my blog, but I'm hoping to do a few posts as I'm going through this.  

I would love to hear your thoughts on doing a "Life Audit" (even if you didn't use this book, or any book for that matter.)  Does anyone care to join me in this adventure?
