Hello April

Hey, Girl! Hey!!!

It's April already?! Whoa. Can not believe that. I thought it would be fun to share some of the goals I have for the month of April. In some strange way sharing my goals here helps me. It's like my own personal accountability system.

My goals for the month of April:

• Apply for the copyright to my eBook
• Workout 3x a week using the NTC app for the Operation Snap Back® April challenge
• Attend barre class 2x a week
• Participate in the VEDA Youtube challenge - Subscribe to my channel to see my videos! 
• Start another book project 

What do you hope to do during the month of April? 

31 Before 32: Ebook Progress - It's DONE!

Y'all I am so excited to share that I am finally done with the writing phase of the eBook. I cannot believe it. It feels so good to be that much closer to accomplishing a goal that I've had for a while. I'll spend this week reading through the book and making some edits. There are some interactive elements that I need to test as well. I'll be sending it off to be read and edited by some folks too. Just the thought of someone reading it makes me nervous but I want to get some extra eyes on it before I apply for the copyright.

I'll be doing some fun things around here as we approach the release of my first eBook. Please make sure that you are following me on social media so that you don't miss out on any of the fun! Until then, here is another one of my favorite quotes from the book that really jumped out at me last night while working...

If there is anything that you want to do please go for it. Don't let being a Mom keep you from achieving your dreams. Allow being a Mother to be your main source of motivation. I know sometimes as Mothers and women we want to feel that we have a big support system. We want other people to co-sign on our ideas to validate that they are good or worth pursuing. I am here to tell you right now that sometimes as a woman and especially as a Mother there will be times where you have to encourage yourself. You will have to push yourself and go for those big dreams even when it seems that no one else is rooting for you.

People may not be aware of how important your dreams are. Make sure you tell them and then show them with your actions. We can do anything that we have the ambition to work for. I am encouraging all of you to reach for your biggest and greatest dream. They say if your dream doesn't scare you then it's not big enough. Let's make 2015 a scary year.

Vision Board 2015

If I haven't said it already on the blog - Happy New Year! Better late than never, right? Anyway it's technically still new so...

I thought I'd share my vision board for 2015. I haven't made a vision board since 2010. The last time I did it everything on it came to pass. So on NYE I thought I'd go for it. This time my vision for the year is to be rich in life (and a few extra dollars would be awesome too), goal oriented and the fun girl I know I am.



What I found to be incredibly crazy is that all of these graphics came from magazines in my house. That was a good sign. I knew I wanted to include my dreams of writing a book and becoming a personal trainer on my board. I am passionate about creating a business for myself that allows me to be a fantastic Mom and wife at the same time.

I also wanted to include quotes that spoke to the way I feel about myself and life in general. They serve as reminders to stay focused on what is truly important to me, being authentic and being in tune with who I am as a person.

The 10s represent the wedding anniversary we'll be celebrating this year. Every anniversary is important but I think there is something to be said for making it that dime piece. Go us.

For me, 2015 will be all about completion and finishing what I start. I want to live my life with a Can-Do attitude and not allow my fears to keep me from trying and achieving.

I wish you all the best that 2015 has to offer. Have the guts to dream big and go after what you want. Love your kids and family enough to let them see you happy and living a full life. You deserve it.

Have you made a vision board? It's never too late to make a good decision. :-)
