My Lil Rebel – What A Brat

I’m having one of those days. I got up this morning to see something that set me off into a mood.

Snapshot

By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. Proverbs 24:3-4 You are here.

Sorting Goals Into Workable Sets

We’ve been talking about goals. If you have one big goal such as quitting a vice, writing a book or running a marathon, using a structured goal planning method usually is the best way to go. But I’m not working on one big goal. I want to actively make improvements in many areas. I wrote Continue reading →

My Goals For The Year.

Happy New Year!!! I hope you had a fantastic weekend! How many of you made resolutions? Still hanging in there with them? Me? I don’t make resolutions any more.

We will be celebrating the last of extended family Christmas tomorrow evening with my in-laws. They will be staying with us through the New Year weekend, so I probably will not get a chance to write again until Monday. The first Monday in 2011!
