Goal Setting: Week of June 19, 2016

Even though it's been a couple weeks (once again) since I set goals, my goals are pretty much the same.  I have yet to accomplish much; we've been busy running errands and going to appointments and such things so life has been busy.  This week is still going to be busy, but hopefully I can squeeze out a couple of accomplishments.  We'll see how that goes.

Wow!  This past week and a half has been such a whirlwind of phone calls and status updates and excitement about my book Courageous: Living the Fearless Life God Intended, which was released on Amazon on April 29, 2016. For the most part, Courageous has remained on the "Hot New Releases" list under Amazon's Christian Personal Growth category, and I am so excited to end up on this "Hot New Releases" list, which currently houses Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen, Ruth Soukup, Jennifer Dukes Lee, T.D. Jakes, and Lee Strobel, among others. I've been trying my best to keep functioning normally around the…

Judge Less, Encourage More: Opening Up About the Struggle Within

The frightening truth about financial difficulty and outside employement As I write this, I am sitting in my car at softball practice after having written three book reviews to post on three consecutive Fridays. I am feeling all sorts of things right now as we face financial hurdles ahead of us. It's been a tough several months since the beginning of the year. Sometimes I want to panic the more I see our bank account dwindle. It might be time to take a Loan out, which I don't mind doing at times like this because I know it's all part…
