IHC Number Update - November 3

 My November IHC Update

✅ = achieving/exceeding my numbers or generally on track where numbers don't really apply.  

❌ = behind on my numbers, things aren't going well or I haven't taken any steps to complete the goal yet.

➖ = unsure of progress, the opportunity hasn't presented itself yet, it may take the full year to properly evaluate, or it's something I would need my instructors to determine my success/failure.  I've decided to still list these things here just as a reminder that they are still requirements.

✅ Weekly Dharma Talks - Back on track here.  I've revamped this a bit and have expanded to other speakers similar to Thich Nhat Hanh.

✅ Pottery - I've been spending consistent time with my pottery...which is always good for my mind and my spirit.  I'm waiting on some pieces to dry before I do another bisque fire.  I should have another full batch of glazed and finished pieces by the end of November.  Hopefully there will be 8 mugs that will have survived.  Although though 

✅ Box Jumps - I have been doing step ups or other exercise with my box every single day since October 7.

➖ Learn how to change Oil  - it's so cold out.

✅ Indoor Plant - I love all my plants.  It has become this perfect little space in my home.  I can't officially mark this as complete, since technically I need to keep these all alive for the full year, but it's looking like I'll be able to count this as a success.

❌ Save for Family Getaway - this keeps getting derailed with other needs in my house.

✅ Compliment Dan, Emma and Nathan at least once a day.
