Wendy tagged me here, and the details of Alex Shalman’s Gotta Get Goals meme are here:

Update: Although you may not be on my Tag-List, IF you want to participate (which I highly recommend), please follow the directions, and comment below with your Dream Meme post URL, and I will list you on this list! Share the news, Share Your Dreams!

Since I’m all about goal-setting…here’s my Top 10 list of what I want to accomplish before I die, in no particular order:

1. Be able to regain physical and medical strength to continue my husband’s mission to reach all 7 continents. Presently hubby has 5, me -3, one daughter-3, daughter-2, daughter-1. With every daughter, I lost more strength, and have been home-bound with the littler ones. Our first daughter visited more than a dozen countries without us ;-( We need to be financially secure to have the best medical care available no matter where we are in the world.

2. Be fluent along with my daughters in 5 written and spoken languages: Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, French and Italian (through immersion-learning by our overseas travels).

3. Learn French and Italian cuisine from reputable intensive-courses in France and Italy.

4. Develop a nonprofit organization for women’s health and research that utilizes technology, biomedicine and Eastern-Western principles to find natural cures or alternatives for living for patients with paralysis, and the top health issues for women, such as stress, heart diseases, brain and neurological disorders and diseases (such as Chiari), breast cancer, etc.

5. Develop a nonprofit organization for research and development of disabled persons willing and able to run an entrepreneurial business, particularly online and utilizing technology such as verbal dictation, one-touch applications, and mobile wireless hardware.

6. Tea for Three - Me and the 2 most influential women in my life: my mother and mother-in-law. Be able to share that I can provide for my mommy and daddy’s retirement, and offer my mother-in-law the best medical care the world has to offer.

7. When my girls go to college, I want to get my law degree.

8. EmpowerWomenNow.com to be the top international women entrepreneur online resource center, offers mentoring and networking, offers virtual remote assisted online business services and application for a fee to women entrepreneurs in 1st world countries, and donate these services to women entrepreneurs in 2nd - 3rd world countries. How? I have many ideas!

9. New York Times best-selling “Empowering Women” book series.

10. Here’s my whammy:
- Charitable servant of God to earn my entrance through the pearly-gates,
- Supportive, loving wife as he’s my life’s partner (at home & beyond–such as in business),
- Devout mother - their education and upbringing is my top priority,
- Obligated daughter - to care and provide for their healthy and long retirement,
- Respectable sister - to be more mobile and be there whenever they need me (I only have 3 siblings after all),
- Considerate friend - a better listener than talker,
- Model colleague/mentor/home based women entrepreneur who practices what I preach,
- Empowered disabled patient - willing to fight all odds, not allow isolation to seclude me, and share with others when the low looks low,
- Honorable citizen, and
- Loyal blogger/internet marketer willing to kick our dreams into action!

Alex & Wendy really cut my tag-list quite a bit, but I met the challenge of meeting Alex’s huge list, hoping none of the listed below are already tagged:
