2019 Goals + January Goals
I hope that everyone has had a great start to the New Year! It’s already Day 5, can you believe it?! One of my goals is re-committing to writing blog posts again. I got wrapped up in personal things and I’ve been able to get some things finished up and other things off of my mind, so I’m ready to get focused on my Yearly Word: Roots. This might sound like an odd word, but this year is about starting from the beginning, focusing on the bottom up and re-growing.

Shining Moments – September 2018 Week 2
Hello everyone! First thing: We are safe from Hurricane Florence *whew*. Hurricanes can be scary things even with all of the protection of property, evacuations and storm radar/forecasting.

August 2018 – Reaching for The Stars
Happy first day of August! It’s time for this month’s edition of Reaching For the Stars, a monthly goal post. ( Who can believe school is almost here?! ) Let’s recap July’s goals: Really sit with the planner as I am readjusting to new hours: 3:30pm – 12am 5x a week (8 hrs + 30 min break) instead of varying times of 10 hour shifts 4x a week (AND getting schedule a week in advance vs the whole month in advance) Revisit, recreate and stick to new budgets since I’ll no longer have a commission check to have a cushion with. The difference between the raise I got and a normal…
