November Goals



I’ve been thinking quite a bit about the things I want to accomplish this month.  There’s just so much that needs to be done in preparation for the holidays – both Thanksgiving and Christmas.  But, I don’t want to lose focus on my internal growth.  So, one of my goals is to revamp my weekly list of goals to make sure that I keep those things I’m working on at the forefront of my mind.  I think I do pretty good at keeping my moodiness in check and my emotions under control when I’m actually thinking about it.  It’s when I get tired and frustrated that my good intentions seem to go right out the window.

So, without further ado… my list of goals:


  • Do cardio at least once a week and a muscle workout at least twice a week.  With the cooler weather I’ve already gotten too comfortable eating pasta.  Luckily it’s the season for baggy warm sweaters.  
  • Plan my Thanksgiving meal, snacks, and family activities.
  • Get my home ready for company. 
  • Revamp my weekly list of goals to ensure that I continue to work on my internal growth projects.
  • Fall cleaning – get rid of that clutter!
  • Find some good Thanksgiving movies. 
  • Figure out what my triggers are when it comes to being emotionally immature.
  • Play tourist while places are decorated for the holidays.
  • Get at least half way through my book on morals/values.  The book is huge!

Oh Lord

When I die, put my ashes in the trash bag I don't care where they go Don't waste your money on my gravestone I'm more concerned about my soul Everybody's gon' die Don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Listen, yeah everybody wants change Don't nobody wanna change though Don't nobody wanna pray Till they got something to pray for Now everybody's gon' die But don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do you see us down here?

Oh Lord, oh Lord It's easy to blame God but harder to fix things We look in the sky like, "Why ain

See the Value in Each Day's Journey

Sometimes the road seems so long and endless, that the idea we'll ever get to where we want to be seems like a battle that will never be won.  That all our efforts don't matter, and are for nothing.  But, the truth is, we need to find joy in the journey.  Stop focusing so much on what we don't have and that place that we haven't reached yet, and start being present in the moment and learning how everything we do affects us, and others.  Ask yourself, what is the impression I made today?  How have I affected others?  How does that make me feel?  How can I do better? Too often, I believe that we miss part of the message we're supposed to get out of our experiences, because we're so focused on the the end point. "The Pleasure and value of every walk or journey we take may be doubled to us by carefully noting down the impressions it makes upon us." - John Burroughs

Happy November!

It is officially November, so you know what that means.   Holiday preparations are now in full swing.   I’ve been told I’m so organized I’m boring, but making lists, forward thinking and planning helps with managing my stress levels.   There is just so much to do, think about, and keep track of!   I have about 5 lists going right now.   It’s crazy.   What’s most exciting is that since I’ve moved to a house, my family and I will have more room to spread out and relax at Thanksgiving.   I always get so nervous that everything won’t work out, or people won’t have a good time.   But, no matter how much I worry, it always works out in the end. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and relatively stress free holiday season!
