July 2017 Goals
You guys.
I'm going to have a baby this month!!! I'm 36 weeks today, and the official due date is July 29th. And let me just say - I have lots to do this month to get ready! I fully realize baby might not arrive until August, and that is A OK with me. But I'm planning for an early to on time arrival, since Milly was 1 day early. I'm actually hoping baby will be ju[...]

It's hard to believe that June is my last full month of being pregnant with Baby #2. It's the last month that Milly will be the only child in my arms. It's the last month of just Milly and Mama... another little one will make my mama heart grow even more.
I know it's going to be so[...]
May 2017 Goals
"Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all."
- Peter Drucker
This weekend as I was working through my Powersheets and setting my May Goals, I had a massive realization:

Meltdown.
Overwhelm.
Praying - a l[...]

I'm going to share a brief little story that has helped me SO much over the past year. It's a little cheesy, but stick with me, because it's really good!
•••
One time there was a professor, and he filled a big glass jar with a bunch of rocks. He asked his class, "Is this jar full?" Of course his students said yes! But then he reached under his table and filled t[...]

2017 Book List
Many people have been asking: "Are you continuing your book club for 2017?" So I want to address that first thing!
No, not exactly. I won't be continuing my Book Club for 2017 the same way I have for 2016. That was a one time, 12 month intensive to re-read all of my most like changing books my 30th year of life.
BUT, there are a few things that I WILL continue [...]
Make giving FUN

Sometimes it just takes some creativity!
I'm hosting a brief, 20 minute Webinar TODAY only at 11:30am, and I'd love for you to join me:
