“Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span? (Matthew 6:25-27).”
I have not done an update on my blogging and writing business goal progress in a while. But I have been working very hard on my writing goals! Let’s start with the looming setback in my writing business because that lit some fire under my rear end to motivate me to get to earning more money… I got an email that said I will soon owe $400 in Bluehost web hosting fees. They have definitely gone up on their rates. Ouch. Then my Canva bill came due for over $100. Without Canva, I cannot make all of my pretty images […]
Today I want to tell you all about the progress I am making on my new blog, the good, the exciting, and the discouraging news too. We are officially entering the second quarter of 2023. There has been such a huge learning curve for me on all of this. For years, I was turning away blogging work, and now that I WANT to make money, I have zero offers.

When I have a big goal that I am working on, I love the start of a new month. It is the perfect time to monitor my progress towards my goals and do my monthly goal setting for the month ahead.

Last year I wrote all about the usefulness of having a Monthly Planning Session, especially when life is extra busy or you have a major project going on. I do stand by that article. However, there […]
My personal Goal Progress Report and a New Goal Tracker I made to share with you all Did you have any goals back on New Year’s day? How are you coming on those? I have worked hard on mine, fell off the horse a couple of times, got back on and worked hard again. And yet. Progress towards my goals never seems to come as quickly as I want it to. In fact, by mid-February I was online google searching things like, “How do you stick to your goals?” and “Why can’t I stick to my goals?” Anyone else like […]
2022 was the first year for this blog, Getting My Act Together, and these were my most successful posts. I started out 2022 with high hopes of writing every single week, and that went well for January-March or so. Ha! And then the move happened. By move I mean our real life move, not just moving from storiesofourboys.com. Moving in real life was a much bigger inconvenience, you know? It was like, well, so much for “getting my act together” this year… Once the move started, it was fairly impossible to keep up with writing of any kind. Then the […]
