Goals a really big deal to me, as you know.
You've heard "to fail to plan, is a plan to fail". I agree 100%, so that's why I hosted a FREE virtual goal planning class on Facebook last week. And since people were LOVING it, I decided I wanted to share it all with you guys!!!
Nearly 2 years ago, my husband chose "grow" for our word of the year. A few short weeks after claiming that and 10 very audacious goals for our life, I lost my husband unexpectedly at 29, just 8 short months after adopting our teenage son from foster care. My world was broken, but my having his word and our dreams written down and implementing incredibly healthy daily habits, I was able to cope with grief and begin healing because I had a vision for my life. And, while it doesn't look like how I pictured it, I am so grateful I started with just one little step.
Each day I start my day the same- with a joyful heart, even the tough ones. I started leading women all over the country in doing the same. My goal is to inspire, equip, and empower women to seek joy in every season of life. And, one of those ways is by choosing a word and focusing in on how it can help shape my goals each year for growth in my family, faith, friendships, work life, hobbies, fun, health, finances, home, and community.
I encourage you to come up with a word for your year. This year, I chose flourish. I'll tell you more about that shortly, but I also really want you to understand the magnitude of setting yourself up for success by WRITING your goals for the year. I want you to grasp how this quite literally changed the way I handled tragedy. I fully believe that it is the reason I am where I am today- putting my faith in God, having a plan, and keeping my focus on seeking joy, daily. I want this FOR YOU more than anything.
Are you ready? Friend, let's go!!!
So, what does it look like to flourish?
Taking really big dreams and turning them into really simple steps.
