Goals for the Second Half of 2019

Comments

Read Now
 
I've had a pretty good year this year for the most part. There were definitely some dips in there and I didn't accomplish everything that I had hoped to have accomplished by now but that's ok, its life. I wanted to do a quick run down updating you on where I stand now and what the plan for the rest of the year is.

One Word Challenge
My word for this year was "Growth"... and I really wanted to change it about two months ago but stuck with it. I think that part of growing is learning about yourself and re-evaluating how you live... and that's what I've been doing, so it still fits. I plan on continuing with this word and continuing to work on eliminating stress and making time for what is actually important in my life. ​
