Starting in February and ending on my December 9th birthday, this adventure became a testament to the power of goal-setting and meticulous planning. As the list evolved, it not only pushed me out of my comfort zone but also led to an unexpected opportunity – making a presentation on goal setting. The support from my husband Steven, the marketing genius of my daughter Katy, and the cheering spirit of my son Nicholas from New York made this experience both nerve-wracking and exhilarating. On my 54th birthday, I stood proud, delivering a presentation that remains one of my proudest moments. Gratitude fills my heart for my family and friends who believe in me, challenging me to embrace new horizons. 🌟 ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f8/03/f803cc65-7efe-420c-aa7f-01e7478e45d0/content/images/2026/09/img_5087-1.jpg) My theme: Imagine \~ Believe \~ Achieve ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f8/03/f803cc65-7efe-420c-aa7f-01e7478e45d0/content/images/2026/09/img_5089-2-1.jpg) Roots: Where it began with my Dad ❤️ ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f8/03/f803cc65-7efe-420c-aa7f-01e7478e45d0/content/images/2026/09/img_5084-1.jpg) 2019 involved GRIT ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f8/03/f803cc65-7efe-420c-aa7f-01e7478e45d0/content/images/2026/09/img_5088-1.jpg) 54 Before 54 in pictures ***Imagine \~ Believe \~ Achieve*** ***Always Seeking Greater HORIZONS!*** ***Life With Lisa***
