How are your monthly goals going? Have you decided on a word for the year, yet? My year of Courage continues! One of the biggest personal challenges for me so far has been making time to reflect and goal plan. It's so easy for me to get on autopilot, then be surprised that I've not accomplished anything beyond housecleaning and homeschooling. Which are important things, don't get me wrong, but they're not always soul-feeding (especially when laundry's involved).

So I've been making goals to help my personal growth, so I can continue the important work of growing the littles around me. I'm also writing my goals in pencil- which is very irritating to my inner perfectionist. My inner perfectionist would make unnecessary sacrifices (like never, ever sleeping) to get the whole list checked off and filed away. I'm learning, however, that everything will never get accomplished in my world. It just won't. And if it does, it will be quickly be replaced by a new list of everything. It's the nature of my life right now. So here are the goals that I'm whittling away at this month, and I'd love to hear what you're whittling away at in the comments as well. If you dream & create via blog, as so many of us do, than we'd love for you to link up your post at the very bottom. Happy April!
