Hi, Hello, it’s been a minute!
I’ve been all over the place trying to find a balance in time online and social media this year. I won’t say that I have it all figured out at this point, but I definitely feel a gravitational pull back to the blog, even if no where else. It’s hard to believe that we are halfway through the year already and that there is so much that I haven’t shared. I plan on re-capping the last couple months soon, but for now it’s time for some monthly goals!
July Goals
Monthly
- Try out a subscription box – I’ve had my eye on subscription boxes for a while and both this one and this one have come highly recommended to me. Don’t think I could go wrong with either.
- Celebrate 4th of July with Friends – We can’t wait to take a couple days off work this week to spend some much needed time with friends. I’m hoping to even create a photo book with some of our favorite moments from the weekend.
- Celebrate my people well – A couple of my favorite people have birthdays in July and I want to celebrate them well.
- Catch up on the last 6th months of Project Life – The blog isn’t the only thing I’ve taken time away from, so I’m jumping back on the Project Life bandwagon as well.
- Move photos from my phone to my hard drive – I do this about every six months, so once I get all the photos printed for Project Life, this will be my next step.
- Finish my selfie mini book – I took Kristin’s Summer of Selfies Mini Album Class and I want to finish strong.
- Memorize two verses of scripture – I’m wanting to start working toward more scripture memorization, so this month I’m working on this one: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)
- Create a weekly to-do list/habit tracker – I’m using my outlook and iPhone calendars for my appointments these days, but I’m having a hard time keeping track of my regular to-do lists, so this month, I’m hoping to come up with a better solution.
Weekly
- Exercise 3x/week
- Blog 3x/week – I’m hoping to get the blog back in action with some more regular posts.
- Weekly Sabbath – One of my biggest goals for the year is to have a consistent day of rest. The beginning half of the year was spent doing research and trying out different things to see what worked and to practice implementation.
Daily
- Track food and exercise with My Fitness Pal
- Daily Bible Reading + Prayer
