As you may know, I’ve been working with Marcia’s goal setting
spreadsheets as part of her Live Organised Community. I have come up with some serious juicy goals that I want to achieve over the next few years. I really think this is very doable, but it will be challenging. This is why I didn't post any goals for August, as I wanted to do the big goals and now I'll be breaking it up into what I'm doing for the months ahead! I'm extremely excited! Now that I'm out of school, there is so many things I want to do, as you can see a lot is around decorating the house. We really find decorating to be a great hobby and we love having people over to dinner, drinks, and "Funday Sundays!" I really wish that Marcia and I could be neighbors. I would love to invite her and her family over to share great food and times.
