Sharing a few achievable goals on my blog each month has proven to be incredibly beneficial for me. I feel extra accountable to get things done when I know I will report back to my readers in this space. I don’t always get everything accomplished on my monthly list, but I’m usually able to knock out the majority of my goals, and I consider that a very good thing.
I’m breaking my BIG YEARLY GOALS {honor, prayer, family, rest, write, home} into small steps each month. Here is an overview of how February went down:
