Sarah Mae, who was inspired by Money Saving Mom (Crystal), has inspired ME to make some solid goals. Usually I am a goal maker but I admit, I’ve allowed this to slip and may be the reason I’m so frustrated with going in circles!
I may add to these as we go, but I wanted to get started right away.
So here it goes:

As I work through the above goals and habits, I will fill in any blank areas with what needs arise. This at least gives me a starting point.
I will be sharing my progress each Saturday. It will be awesome accountability for me and hopefully motivation for you.
Are you inspired to create your own goals now?!

I am sooo inspired! I have been in such a rut lately – that feeling of going nowhere fast! I too am normally a goal setter and list maker – and that usually keeps me headed in the right direction, but for some reason this summer has just been a whole lot of me reacting to things instead of being intentional….time to hit the brakes on that and start over!
WOOT WOOT!
These goals are a great idea, something I need to consider doing in our family. Thank you for sharing and inspiring!
Ack! I feel overwhelmed just looking at your list!! Hopefully the second trimester of this pregnancy will give way to some motivation (and energy)!
I love your GOALS. I am inspired by this – I am a grandmother – and am/was a single mother to my beautiful daughter. The very blessing of being a mother has been the joy of my life. Thank you for your gift of sharing. Please don’t forget the single mothers out here – and, grandmothers who might be happily reading your writings. God bless your ministry. Blessings and Peace.
Love your goals! I have weekly personal goals, but I tend to follow the once a month plan for my blogging/ health goals: http://behealthybehappywellness.com/blog/2012/01/2012-learn-and-grow
I think I might just add in one monthly personal goal to focus on also – terrific plan!
I am so inspired to create some goals now! (I know it’s ridiculous, but I’ve been putting it off out of fear…if I don’t make goals….I can’t fail. :/) But really, I really really need some direction as well, so yes! I am in! Now I just need to find some time to do it! Perhaps tonight.
I am so motivated to start my own goals now
