My Bucket List for 2022 | 22 in 2022

[@KitchenPenguin]

Back when I was in culinary school, we practiced pan flipping, prior to doing the real thing with an egg, using dried beans. So you can use beans or rice or birdseed, you could practice in the back yard and won't have to clean up whatever you drop, to practice the wok flipping motion.

[@wildly_heather]

And the answer to "would you like to see..." is YES ALL THE THINGS WHY YOU ASKING? :) So yes, please share work goals.

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

Hahahahaha

[@margaretmurphy6623]

Second.

[@lushestdaisies]

Heather speaks the truth!!

[@korijanelle]

Re: Denver Museums. The Colorado history museum is really cool and has some fun interactive exhibits.

[@morgannewood]

Lol I wanna say thank you for helping end my happy planner addiction and being mad at myself because I couldn’t keep up with it. Now, I use a bullet journal with a monthly layout and put my appts in the month and then if I want to add extra stuff, cool, if not, I at least know my schedule. And that was a less than $20 investment in a good journal.

[@karinwebster5694]

I'm a re-reader too, but I'm also a librarian. I really appreciate your 22 list, it's so practical and doable. I hope you reach them all. Happy New Year!

[@hawoodcock]

Cindy I would listen to you talk about your goals for your pets! I am TOTALLY here for work goals. I just recently found your channel and have totally binged it over the holiday break. So happy to find a new awesome creator! Happy New Year!

[@debbiesue215]

We spent our wedding night in the Stanley Hotel ! Our room was one with a cupola and we could see the beautiful Rockies. That was 41 years ago. You really must go. Estes Park is beautiful. Love the Rockies !!

[@bookishkat.3390]

Having a cleaner come in every other week made such a difference to our lives! I hope you find someone you are happy with. We have a lot of goals to do with our physical space too, we moved in a new built last year and we need to make it a bit more 'ours' this year.

[@suzisaintjames]

Re: housekeeper. Just like you said about a farmer's market... First, you gotta find one. Then you gotta try one out a few times before you know if it's your favorite. With your being in a new area, you aren't going to be able to hire someone you trust completely right out of the gate. Trust builds slowly. Being bonded adds some trust, but usually comes with a cost. I keep my non-replaceables in a place where she doesn't clean, my office... which I clean myself. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

Great tips thank you!!

[@mrandisg]

I want to get back into my writing and do more reading for fun. I'm like you, Cindy--I don't like tracking how many books I've read. It makes reading feel like a chore to me. I remember all the fun I had reading when I was growing up, and I've come to realize that part of the reason it was so much fun was because I just read whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Same goes for my writing. I want to get back into the habit of writing every day, not because I "have to," but because I WANT to. I've been feeling this painful disconnect between me and my writing, and I'm desperate to reconnect because writing is one of the things that has saved my sanity over the years. Love the way you set up your 22 for 2022! I haven't gotten all of mine nailed down yet, but I'm getting there. Your spread is giving me ideas for my own. Thanks for the inspiration! 😊

[@jalee20]

I set a low goal for Goodreads every year, one I know I will crush. I still feel just as good when I reach it.

[@mamadeb1963]

I want to start vlogging. Just a weekly thing on anything - after I move, my kitchen organization, cooking, maybe new hobbies, holiday prep - things like that.

[@tuba_kate]

One of my fun goals is a 22 book reading challenge. I compiled a list of book types/genres that sounded interesting and fun. Some are books that I gravitate to and others are a stretch. The goal is to expand my reading horizons and discover new kinds of book and authors. There is enough flexibility that I hope it won't become a slog.

[@mycraftyplans]

Yes to all the work/HB90/kanban videos! I am so curious about the system after your review video! This year I want to go on a real and actual vacation.

[@lynmarieneuenfeldt7269]

So much yes to all this.

[@TheReadingandWritingLife]

I'm currently reading Skyward by Brandon Sanderson (it's the first in a trilogy, and I'm loving it so far)... a teenage girl wants to be a pilot (like her father) to prove that he didn't run away from the fight where he was killed and branded a coward. It's such a great book so far, and lots of people love the trilogy.

[@_hellojarofdirt]

I have this book! I haven't started reading it yet. It's on my 2022 TBR.

[@TheReadingandWritingLife]

@@_hellojarofdirt I'm not even halfway through yet, and I already love the characters. I can't wait to see where they go and what happens with them.

[@_hellojarofdirt]

@@TheReadingandWritingLife Have you ever watched videos by @MelReads? Her videos have influenced a lot of the SciFi and Fantasy purchases I've made the last couple of months. I had never heard of this series until she mentioned it. She loves "Brandy Sandy" a lot. (I now cannot look at the name Brandon Sanderson without saying that in her voice in my head, lol.) I will be adding it to my February TBR and then will have thoughts to share with you. So, if you make a video about it, be prepared for me to comment a lot on it once I finish the book. I'm currently reading, uh, several books at once and need to finish them before I pick up another one, lol.

[@TheReadingandWritingLife]

@@_hellojarofdirt I have this same problem with reading several books at once. I usually keep it at 4 and that feels good, but currently it's at 15 or 16 and I'm feeling overwhelmed. Anyway, Skyward is one of those that I'm reading right now and will be moving on to book number two as soon as I finish this one. I will definitely be making a video about it, so stay tuned! ;)

[@Charlotteapaige]

I would enjoy seeing an HB90 work goals video.

[@hollyburley1]

Hi Cindy, great goals! Wanted to recommend a large snake plant for the living room! They are very tolerant plants. And if they get enough sun/care, they will surprise you with blooms! The blooms are rare so, holy cow does it bring me joy when they happen! They are slow growing though so if you want big, big, might not be the best selection. Thanks for sharing!

[@suzisaintjames]

Yes, work quarterly goals, please! 💖🌞🌵😷

[@mrspricecreates]

In regards to the drying out, I lived in Northern Montana and we had the same issue, I had to buy humidifiers to add humidity in the air. It does wonders!

[@missyb7311]

You are tall enough for the wok toss. I’m comfy not so much with the wok but with stir fry in a pan…but I have to pull it off the stove top because I’m only 5’1”. You can do it!

[@jennifercwilliams1]

Biggest 2022 success would be to get another job than the toxic one I currently have - wish me luck!

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

Fingers crossed!!

[@BeachandCoffee]

New to your channel. Listening to this on my morning drive. I flat out guffawed at the Stoic comment. Thanks for an amazing start to my day. 😂🤣

[@Sal-iw8zg]

Regarding the Scotch Eggs goal, you might find Binging with Babish's video 'I Lied about Scotch Eggs' an entertaining and/or informative watch. The whole episode hinges on his impression that this is a requirement when in fact it is more of an unusual twist and not standard at all XD If I remember correctly he did eventually get a soft boil. For 2022 Q1 fun goals I'm hoping to graduate from a marimo moss ball to a dirt-growing plant (I did well enough for a few years with cacti but I think I'd actually be better with something less durable that would welcome more routine care) and lots of reading - I've likewise got my eyes on NK Jemisin's work as well as a handful of leftovers from this year and some other recs from Plant Based Bride.

[@kelsiemarice7507]

One of my just for fun goals is to begin working on my own fiction novel seriously!

[@payanar1]

I am completely on the same page with you regarding having a reading goal and tracking reading. I just want to read what I want when I want.

[@anneadeline91]

I just ordered the MakseLife yesterday because I've loved seeing how the goals are integrated in the planner. One of my fun goals for the year is to start a handwritten reading journal to record my thoughts on what I read. 📚

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

That sounds lovely!

[@angiechristensen5441]

Since you've started using a Kindle, I'd like to suggest a few series -- The Aliomenti Saga by Alex Albrinck - first book is A Question of Will -- Kurtherian Universe by Michael Anderle - first book is Death Becomes Her -- Templeverse by Shayne Silvers - first book is Obsidian Son -- The Hellequin Chronicles by Steve McHugh - first book is Crimes Against Magic. Enjoy the ride for all of these series.

[@thiandavis]

Both of NK’s trilogies (The Inheritance and Broken Earth) are so freaking good!

[@sandralantau7395]

Yes, please, please, please - work goals video!

[@TheObsessiveBookseller]

oooohhh!! Have fun with Broken Earth!! It's still one of the most wildly unique things I've ever read. So cool. I also love all things Sanderson, so you can't go wrong. His Stormlight Archive is my personal reread series. I don't make time to reread much, but somehow those 1000+ page books keep drawing me back. Not a single boring passage to me. I love watching you work your way through goals (I'd love to see a work goals video). I remember when you set this up at the beginning of last year. It inspired me to write and work on my own throughout the year. I didn't do anything perfectly, but I did work on all of them a LOT more than I would have without these written intentions. I know you're on Moxielife (no idea on spelling lol), but I just got my first powersheets this year after seeing you use yours for a couple and I'm excited to give it a try.

[@purpleporpoise44]

Ah, you are going to love the Stanley Hotel tour! I went once a few years ago and am not a ghosts or huge Stephen King fan (though I read the Shining right after) and still thought it was rad.

[@teabean7]

Love love love Stephen King. I am reading Finders Keepers right now.

[@elisebrisson]

One of my big goals for 2022 is to practice and pass the exam for Braille level 2. I teach at a school for students who are blind or visually impaired, and learning Braille is obviously a necessary thing for professional development. It's so hard though and it's all just rote memorization which I hate... I just have to get through it!

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

You got this!

[@jennlorence]

Congrats!! I try to practice braille periodically. My uncle is legally blind so he taught me the basic stuff

[@sallynoma5310]

Ohhhh! Time tracking routine?!?! Video on that journey and what you are doing now please!

[@craftingrubydreams]

Get rid of the "Shoulds"!!!! I track what I read because I WANT to track. I used to share my reading stats, but stopped doing that a few years ago. But I was tracking before I started sharing my stats and I knew I wanted to continue tracking. But I had to stop sharing the stats in order to let myself feel the freedom to track.

[@craftingrubydreams]

And I’m finally finishing the video as I got distracted by family New Year’s Eve celebrations, and I’m SO with Kay on the Dutch Baby from pancake places!

[@amandarandolph7222]

I've been to the Stanley hotel! My brother lives in Johnstown and took me. It was super fun!

[@barbarawest1205]

Or Howl's Castle (think it's a trilogy) or the Vineyard Witch?

[@MissLucyJane]

I visit Denver every few years (and live in Utah -- we share weather systems) so here are my recommendations. Drink more water than you'll think you need to. It's a high-altitude desert and will drain you dry if you're not careful. Use cocoa butter for your hands when they get sandpapery. Visit the Museum of Natural History. Go to the Denver Arts Festival over Memorial Day weekend. Eat at the Route 66 Cafe on Colfax -- they've got a burger named after Dean Moriarty. Eat at City O'City. Take a walk in Cheesman Park and you might see a ghost. Shop for records at Twist and Shout, and for books at the Tattered Cover. It's a great city! I hope you enjoy yourselves there.

[@cherylrobertson5629]

I believe I hit more than a hundred books read this year. I read on my phone via the Kindle app and it keeps track of how many books I’ve read. However, for some reason it’s not telling me my totals right now. This year, I’m learning all about succulents and how to keep them alive. Indoor and outdoor

[@LynS216]

I want to start learning to paint with watercolors. I’ve bought a lot of supplies, but haven’t been able to get started. That’s one of my short list of goals.

[@tanyaatmomssmallvictories9687]

What kind of wok do you have? I cook because I have to but it does not bring me joy. It's a necessity with 3 sons, so as usual one of my goals is to make cooking easier so i at least grumble and whine about it less. Problem is too that my chronic illness is a joint condition so by dinner time my energy and joints are zapped. I always set a reading goal so my fun goal this year is to read everyday. at least 1 page. My bookshelves are crammed of books I bought at library sales so there's some guilt in the fact that I haven't read them. So my goal is to read from my shelves so that I can declutter the ones I don't want to keep and that the ones left are my favorites and bring me joy.

[@katherinelaponte2826]

Please read The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. It's so good! Also, you can totally do a wok toss! Go for it 😁👍

[@sportzone24112]

Hello! I love your videos! I want to get back into yoga and improve my money management!

[@andreadodson2817]

Here's an idea for your wok goal- see if there's an Asian cookery class so that you can be guided on how to do the movements appropriately, and if you make a mess you probably won't be the only one. Dr. Pepper is not a monkey on my back, it's a virus that I can't get rid of. I did Lent and gave up all sodas, and it was difficult, but I did it. Though Easter hit and no chocolate bunnies for me- I downed a six-pack. So many of the things that are on your bucket list are now on my bucket list. Maybe I can fit it 44 in 22? Not likely.

[@vlwbug1986]

I’m here to endorse The Broken Earth Trilogy. I have read both that series and, the Mistborn series. They are both very good. But if you asked me what my favorite fantasy series is I would have to say Broken Earth.

[@nikorae5286]

Blessed new year Not an artist but colorist and I plan to us a set of secret language of color cards and 72 watercolor pencils to do some mood / emote art thanks for the inspiration

[@cheriecoffee336]

I want to do a “Date Day” with my hubby. A whole day celebrating us and doing things we love to do.

[@ebayaradiay2781]

SODA!!!!!!! NNNNNOOOOOO.Keep me informed of your progress

[@marycnhatch4934]

After a HUGE scare, we attended a party (first one since 2019), and had to be tested for covid afterwards, I plan on staying home and focusing on repainting the interior. I'm not going to do any peopling! (We are negative btw.) My positive for the year is to walk and listen to audio books, to be frugal, and to be a royal pain in the a$$ to our state governing party. Just the usual stuff.

[@mbwebster1838]

Would love to see a video about your work goals - also about your creative dates with yourself if you feel like sharing that! I could use some inspo on that score. =) Happy New Year to you and yours - hoping everything is merry and bright (and a bit more calm!) for you all in the upcoming year.

[@auntdeecrafts4263]

Soda is DEFINITELY my Achilles Heel. I grew up on Dr Pepper and I just can't seem to give it up. I did break my Mountain Dew habit but Dr Pepper ... baby steps!!

[@de9699]

I was a Dr Pepper addict for YEARS. I gave it up cold turkey when I was in the hospital for 3 months. I was shocked and sad when my new nephro told me Dr Pepper was pretty much the worst of the sodas for my kidneys. That was spring 2016 and I haven't tasted Dr Pepper since then. I haven't had a soda darker than ginger ale since then actually. Mostly it's teas, but if I am drinking a soda it's a Sierra Mist/Sprite, and I've recently discovered they go well mixed about 1/2 and 1/2 with pink lemonade.

[@rachelstallings5460]

Yes please, I would love to see your quarterly work goals!

[@kimroberts8113]

NK Jemison is so good! Highly recommend The 5th Season series. The Thousand Kingdom series is really good, too.

[@lynmarieneuenfeldt7269]

Would really like to retake Immersion this year. Did 2020 loved first couple weeks and the my work as a municipal (elected) official just took over everything. Excited to hear your take on Flourish and Immersion. Other goal is to get my “2020 puppy” socialized and comfortable with other dogs.

[@suzisaintjames]

A big monkey I had was Pepsi. Actually, Pepsi and Doctor Pepper each has three monkeys. Caffeine, the bubbles and sugar. Pick one. I choose to quit caffeinated soda first because I don't do artificial sweeteners. (I still have a cuppa coffee now and again, but no caffeine in soda). So, I was drinking lemon/lime or Ginger ale. After a month or so, I switched to water, but I really missed the bubbles, so I switched to club soda to eliminate the sugar. I finally bought a Soda Stream and now make my own soda water when I get a craving... sometimes I add frozen juice concentrate (the grape concentrate I found has no added sugar/100% fruit juice). And that's how I conquered my monkeys. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@wildly_heather]

Agreed, I love fizzy water and adding just an ounce of juice really adds great flavor (my fav is tart cherry with a splash of lime, or pineapple)

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

That’s basically how I’ve done it before! In the same order no less lol

[@suzisaintjames]

@@CindyGuentertBaldo, if a process works, don't change it. Just start with your shopping list! If you don't buy it, it's not in the house. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@kaoticanjel83]

I love my Soda Stream. I bought it years ago and then stopped using it, but about 6 months ago I pulled it out and it still worked so I started using it again. We buy the Torani syrups and like one pump works for me when I want something more like soda.

[@suzisaintjames]

@@kaoticanjel83, yum! They have so many flavors! But recovering from from a chronic disease, I'm trying to stay away from added sugars and preservatives. That's why the frozen juice concentrate works for me. I've found grape, apple and orange juice concentrates that are 100% juice (no added sugar, nor preservatives). Now if I could find juice with no added sweeteners that was keto, I would be adding it to my beverages 24/7. But for now, my drink is purified water. As carbonation, turns the water acidic and everybody knows alkaline water is better, soda water is a treat for me so I don't feel deprived. Sending lots of love 💖 and blessings for the New Year from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵😷

[@lindseyc8123]

I finished reading the Daily Stoic today and it wasn't worth the journey, to be honest. But I was hecking stubborn to finish it up. Which is weird cause I loved Stillness is the Key and The Obstacle is the Way. Maybe I'm Stoic-ed out, haha. As for fun goals, one of mine is to reread Jane Eyre. I was inspired to after finishing the audiobook of Praying with Jane Eyre, which was great by the way.

[@mwillis7791]

Don’t know about the Denver area but up north I have some amazing nurseries for you! Flower Bin in Longmont, Fort Collins nursery (has the most amazingly huge fiddle leaf fig that rooted itself), Bath Nursery in Fort Collins. The nurseries are well worth a trip north and they all have a great selection of indoor and outdoor plants. Whole house humidifier does wonders if that is an option. I find that my plants have acclimated pretty well to the CO climate and dry air (even before our humidifier). I hope you child finds peace and healing.

I just find it a really useful database - I have all sorts of custom shelves and tags. For a fantasy series, I highly recommend "The City of Brass" by S. A. Chakraborti. I've bought the entire trilogy even though I can get them from the library because they are very reread-worthy.

I love Sarah J. Maas! Her Throne of Glass series was awesome, and I loved her Court of Thorns and Roses. They're fabulous. I haven't read Crescent City yet because I want more than one or two books out because I binge. I also love the Chronicles of the One by Nora Roberts. She shocked the shit out of me with that series. It was SO good, and so not like her usual writing. I had to keep checking to make sure she was the author. Lol AND I read the first one at the beginning of the pandemic, which was spooky af. P.S. You put out a video, I will watch. So if you do the work goals one, I'd love to watch.
