Get published (magazine or newsletter article(s))

Achieve MCDBA (although not technically VFP, I can still use it with the VFP systems I work on)

Help a lot of people (here and elsewhere)

Great goals. I have thought of getting an MCDBA, but I don't have a burning need for it at the moment and I am worried about spreading myself to thin.

>Honestly Cindy, I don't know any more that you can do. By the end of year, you will have written/completed a book and spoke at a DevCon. Those are truly high honors and you have those in your pocket now. You appear to have it all. Way to go!!!

The rate at which Cindy learns is amazing. Having gotten to know Cindy better over the last few months, I realize that she is also an extremely busy person. This makes her acheivements all the more impressive.
