How I did it
How to write a list of 43 activities which I enjoy
It took me
1 day
It made me
motivated!

How I did it: I simply made a brainstorming list of 43 activities which I enjoy.  This was hard at first for me, as I have spent so much time lately in "mom" mode that I forget about what I really enjoy myself.  Once I got going, I realized many of these items I should either be doing regularly, or planning events around so I get to enjoy them!  This list will lead to many future goals, and helps me to refocus some priorities.  It m… Read how I did it…

How to have guests over every month
It took me
30 days
It made me
an expert hostess!

How I did it: Kept the house relatively clean on a weekly basis, and invited people over!  This goal got too easy for me and I have been having so many folks over now I am dropping this goal off my list.  It was good to get the routines jump started though!!  Read how I did it…

How to pray for President Obama and the United States of America daily
It took me
1 day
It made me
solemn

How I did it: I am still doing it....every time I see him on TV I say a silent prayer that God may bless him with wisdom and good judgement, protection and that areas where he might be wrong, he would have the humility to change heart if something was revealed to be other than a current stance.  He has a difficult job at hand, and whether or not you are an Obama supporter, we should be praying for our leaders.  Read how I did it…

Behind 17 hours ago

I was doing well, then Wednesday through Friday I have been so exhausted I went to bed early. That has set me back. I am currently at 5,000 words. Need to do double time this weekend to get back on track!

Woo hoo! I'm off and running! 6 days ago

This is so fun! I sat down this morning and cranked out 1,826 words, already over my goal. I figure it is good to bank a few more in to save up for those uninspiring days! Maybe I will write more tonight if I am inspired to do so. I know I am going to have a lot of editing to do when this is all through, but writing in chunks I am hoping to do a lot of rearranging of story parts and further development after the November deadline!
