A well-known author stated that the job of a writer is to inspire, educate, and/or entertain. Hearing this statement prompted me to think about how writing, in turn, has affected my life for the better. And, I've decided to take each of the action words in bold (above) and create an acrostic for all three … Continue reading Job of a Writer – To INSPIRE

Revisiting Day 14 of the 30-Day Challenge: Procrastination Station
In an effort to get my body right, I'm still continuing with revisiting goals that are health-related.

And today marks the restart of working to permanently close down … Continue reading Revisiting Day 14 of the 30-Day Challenge: Procrastination Station
And the Writing Beat Goes On …
Let the goal-setting challenges (for writing book #2) begin. Yes, book #2 is underway and my expectation for the successful completion of this book by the end of the year is goal #1.

Revisiting Day 28 of the 30-Day Challenge: Procrastination Station
I'm back with another revisit and this challenge seems to make the trifecta complete. In other words, I've revisited "the drinking more water" and "the establishing a regular exercise routine" challenges. So, it seems fitting to add "the getting more sleep" goal to the list.

One goal that is glaringly obvious to me and that I wished I'd given more attention to at the start of my blogging journey is that of community involvement.

Already Resetting My Water Consumption Goal
Update: just wanted to report in real quickly, regarding my daily water consumption goal. Now, I'm not admitting defeat after being only 6 days in, but I must retract my revisited goal of 4 cups (32 ounces) of water intake a day. I'm making an executive decision to bring that goal down to 3 cups … Continue reading Already Resetting My Water Consumption Goal
Revisiting Day 2 of the 30-Day Challenge: Procrastination Station
I decided to revisit day 2 of the original 30-day challenge on this fine Monday, because it's Monday . . . the start of the work week for most people. Therefore, I found it fitting to begin my reintroduction to a renewed workout regimen today. Here's how my exercise routine will differ from what I … Continue reading Revisiting Day 2 of the 30-Day Challenge: Procrastination Station
