Goals are good. Writing down goals is even better. I really don’t want my month to be like last Saturday when I seemed to be busy doing nothing all day long. I have no idea what got finished, I think I just moved stuff from here to there and back again. Anyway, I’m sticking with this goal thing through the end of the year and joining with Hayley to keep accountable!

Let’s look back and see progress (crossing fingers!)

Spiritual:

1.  Continued space healing for my grieving heart. —-> Sigh. . . grief is so weird. One minute I’m fine, and then it hits me. Normal, I know.

2.  Creating Sabbath Moments –> I thought about it, but I’m not sure I was successful.

Family: 

1. Getting started with our days earlier. I want to be ready for the day when it needs to start.  Some days yes and some days no. Still a goal.

2. Be a better girlfriend to my husband.    My husband actually told me I was being a good girlfriend! Either he read my blog or I WAS!

3.  Plan dates with my girls 1-1 (on the schedule – that is 4 dates each month or maybe on an 6 week schedule). –> MUST DO THIS!

Writing:

1. Finish “Truth for Moms” devotional.  (Release date is August 2015 Harvest House Publishers) I have about 5 more devotions to write.  Only 3 more to go!

2.  Sketch out 2 book ideas on paper.   I have one outlined and a start on chapter 1! Woot!

Personal:

1. Conquer my 90 day “Bikini Body Mommy” challenge and not die during burpees or mountain climbers. Today I did Day 53! Bam!

2.  Finish 3 books currently on my Kindle Reader: (they are all fantastic, by the way)

So, not all bad! Actually, August was a crazy month, so I’m proud that I did see some progress on my goals!

[callout]September Goals[/callout]

  1. Finish August goals! (Especially getting those 1-1’s with my girls! And finish my reading and writing!)
  2. School reports are due and I need to spend at least an hour or two entering in our courses and such. I always procrastinate doing this.
  3. Love on my home a bit with a new gallery wall, curtains, and pillows.
  4. Finish reading The Best Yes by Lysa Terkeurst which I added to my reading pile in August!
  5. Do NOT add any more books to the reading pile.
  6. Celebrate my oldest! She turns 15 on the 30th!

That is all I’m adding! What are your top September goals?

xo,

Stacey
