\u00a0Last week we packed in a lot of regular as well as fun activities.\u00a0 As I look over my goals for last week there were a lot of items that didn’t get done or weren’t done on time.\u00a0 We had a family member get sick the first half of last week and that set me back a couple of days on top of all the other little things that pop up from day to day.\u00a0 Hopefully next week I will be able to tackle more items on my list!<\/p>\n

                          I think it is important to share and encourage each other as we seek to improve our lives and the lives of those around us.\u00a0 I want to live intentionally not just hope all my dreams and goals come true.\u00a0 When I focus on small steps of improvement I am able to see results as I get closer to my goals.\u00a0 Some weeks I get closer to the goals I have in my life and other weeks a take a few steps back (life happens, emergencies occur, people get sick).\u00a0 Once the goals are written down and shared it provides a guideline for what I aim to accomplish this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
