___________________________________
September was a busy and productive month! It was the first month in a long time that I finished almost all of my goals. I tried to check on the goals throughout the month and put several of them on a 'to-do' list in my phone to remind myself of the commitments I made for this month. I made some healthy personal changes this month to give me more rest and feel so good going into a new month. I am hopeful for what is to come. Bring it on, October!

October Goals
>> work out twice a week
>> Finish reading Cold Tangerines by Shauna Niequist & start Leota's Garden by Francine Rivers
>> Memorize scripture weekly with Greg as well as focus on Psalm 19:7-8 from the Open Your Bible study by She Reads Truth that I did in September (which was SO good)
>> Review atleast 4 different Bible studies I've done in the last year by using my journals and re-reading the Scriptures so the truths continue to settle in my heart and mind.
>> Write to my Compassion International child monthly
>> 10 Day herbal detox along with paleo-ish
>> 1 new recipe
>> Meet with my little sister
>> Get to bed by 11:00 on work nights

>> Continue to journal 3 blessings per day in my 100 Gifts journal
>> Snail mail: 4 letters in the next month
>> Review atleast 1 lecture from my grad school powerpoint slides that is practical for my work setting
