What are your April goals?
I love your goals! So intentional and also achievable!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I like to balance them out with some more challenging goals with some achievable goals. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI totally review my goals on the last or second-to-last day of the month in order to complete as many as possible that I forgot. So your elimination diet totally counts!
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, you totally killed it with your goals last month. That is awesome!!!
Thanks so much, Brita! I want to try to check my goals list weekly so that I can be more consistent with them throughout the month because this past month I forgot about a few.
DeleteOh, what are your new jobs?
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel! I was offered two jobs: one as a pediatric nurse practitioner in the ER of a local children's hospital and the other as a home care nurse for kids with chronic medical conditions. They are both PRN (as needed) basis so I can fill my schedule with both.
DeleteHi Victoria, thanks so much! It helps me to break them down in categories because I can be more focused on them when they are categorized vs all in one long list.
ReplyDeleteLove your goals, especially your spiritual. I started blogging about mine in March. Love how it helps me keep on track.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Deborah! I will check out your goals on your blog too! I like that it helps me stay on track as well as gives some accountability since I am sharing it with my readers.
