Is there something (a person, a cause, an idea) that you want to investigate more fully in 2012?

Meditation and yoga. I need to find inner peace.

I would like to green my office by instituting composting and helping people discover carpooling.

I want to continue to pursue my career path. Is academia for me? Is the Ph.D. for me? This is not just about whether or not I have what it takes (whatever it is!) to succeed in this, or any other, doctoral program. It's also about whether or not this lifestyle is right for me. I want to be attentive to my feelings about this, daily and more macroscopically. When am I happiest? What do I feel the greatest sense of fulfillment? These are the questions that I want to be alert to...

I think investigating my finances is still where I'll be. I'm on a good path (mostly), but it's a long path. Right now, I have about $1000 in debt and maybe twice that in short-term savings. I'd like to zap the debt, increase the short term savings (for a house and a wedding) and finally start to see quadruple digits in my 401K and retirement savings.

I want to find a permanent home for my son who is mentally ill. I worry about what will happen to him when I pass away.

Mother Teresa. Other women who inspire and lead.

Occupy Wall Street's cause is opposition to the collusion of wealth and power. That is a good cause. I will see what happens and do my best. I want to see my friends more clearly. They are amazing and the more I know them the more I may love them. I'd like to know more about my grandmother. I hope I get to see her art.

I am wanting to go back to Israel. I was their forty three years ago, and have an opportunity to be with relatives on a kibbutz. I want to investigate going this coming year.

A new language (Spanish or Portuguese) + continuing to practice and maintain my French.
