2018 Goals
We’ve reached the point where every blogger is setting their 2018 goals. Last year I threw mine together in a very slap-dash way, but am happy to say that I’m still pretty happy with the way 2017 turned out.

Morning Pages are a Morning Miracle
Tomorrow will be the three month mark for my morning pages. On December 21 I started a morning routine of writing in my journal every single day.
