Do you believe in the power of written goals? I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t. But… let me ask this question – have you written goals for this year or next down?
For years I believed in the power of goals. Occasionally I would write them down. I made New Year’s Resolutions for years, too, and can’t remember one coming to fruition. My problem with my goals? I wasn’t specific with what I wanted to do.
I wanted to lose weight, sure, but I had no plan in place. I wanted to write a book, there wasn’t a plan ready. I wanted to pay off some bills, but again, I had no plan. At this point, they were just dreams, not goals.
If you’ve never learned how to be effective with your goals, don’t worry. Sometimes we just need some instruction to take the next right step.

Since I can’t have coffee with you every day, I thought’s I’d share some of my favorite blogs, books, and other cool things I find, right here.

A friend of mine recently shared with me a poem she’d written after her boyfriend had repeatedly beaten her, threatened to kill her, then when finished, pretended like nothing had ever happened.
We’ll call her Carina, which means beloved. She’s given me permission to share this poem with you and anyone who may be living in an abusive relationship, or who has been set free from one. I am proud of her boldness.
Her words depict Satan perfectly. He longs to destroy us. To make us feel worthless. To beat us down, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. He seeks to control us, own us, and leave us for dead. But as she writes below, he’ll get his in the end.

I love my birthday. Always have. It drives me crazy to see people complain about their birthdays and how they’re getting older and blah, blah, blah.
I get to celebrate another year – the fact that I’m still here and alive. I shouldn’t be here and six years ago I had the desire to end my life. But God is bigger and that’s worth celebrating.
As I prepare to turn 25.. ahem.. 32.. I’d love for you to celebrate with me.
