Well here we are; 2017.
Was anyone ready for this year to begin?
I wasn't but you know what; I am not going to stress about it.
This year I am not making any resolutions. I am simply going to enjoy this year and as a matter of fact, I'm going to enjoy EACH DAY.
I learned that I allowed stress to rule 2016 and it didn't do me any good. I also learned that you can't change people's actions, words or treatment of you. However you can change how you deal with those around you.
This year I am going to do one thing and that will be to be TRUE to MYSELF.
What does that mean?
That means I will not allow anyone to stress me. I will take each day as it comes. However that day ends; it will stay with that day. Each day will be approached with new eyes, new hope and new dreams.
Every day begins fresh and so should we.
Each day is a promise of something new. Each day brings a new chance to do something you haven't done before.
My goal for this year is simple: ENJOY the day that I am given and never worry about what happened the day before.
My motto for the year will be:
TOMORROW NEVER COMES SO LIVE FOR THE MOMENT.
What is your motto going to be this year?

New Year, New Goals
As the New Year came rushing in, I sat down and wrote out my goals for the year.
How many of us have done this? I'm not talking about goals in general; I'm talking about goals for my writing.
Not resolutions like; I'm going to write for an hour a day, more like; I'm going to write for at least five (5) hours every week.
Goals like, I'm going to spend $500 on attending conferences this year.
Goals like, I'm going to self-publish my next novel but I'm going to PAY for an editor and not give it to grandma or my friend to read.
Those are goals that every author should be making.
Realistic goals; goals that will make you succeed as an author.
My goals; well they are simple. I want to write for 5 hours each week. I want to stop work at 6pm every night and enjoy my family. I want to attend 6 conferences this year. (I'm already signed up for 4) I want to have my novel ready by November 1. (I'm almost finished)I want to be interviewed on radio. (Yep; already crossed off)
See those goals are what I will cross off, when they are completed and replace with a new one.
So tell me; What are your goals for this new year?
