learnings
- God is at work, even when i cannot see it.
- making goals is so helpful for a procrastinator like myself.
- and if i don't reach those goals, it's okay. grace over perfection.
- i don't have to wait for the life i want to live; it's here - right now. create it.
- "having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, not weakness."
- i am not defined by whether or not an item does not get checked off my to-do list.
- the ability to find beauty in the ordinary on a daily basis has changed my attitude.
- when a two-liter bottle of root beer falls on your toe, it will not feel good.
- God puts people in your life at just the right time.

GOALS
- write a mini-series about blogging. part one // part two // part three
- start a budget. when i looked at my spending over the last seven months, i was kinda shocked. a budget is much needed!
- purge the bedroom & closet. i have a severe form of the i-might-need-this-one-day syndrome. but living with less does not mean i am living less. there is freedom in living simply.
- read three books. i finished two - love does & cold tangerines
- finalize new blog design. i went back and forth all month about a re-brand or fresh design. i'm still debating.
- exercise three times a week. umm... this did not happen, but in my defense - oklahoma heat, y'all. #nuffsaid
