Goodbye, Summer

Today is the last day of summer and I'm looking forward to fall. I love this season! Back in June, I made a list of four summer goals. While I didn't meet but one of them, I still feel really good about the progress that I did make!

I did get a job. I read 17 really great books this summer. (I was aiming for 25.) As for writing, while I didn't hit the end points as I hoped, I have made really good progress on those works. I also met my co-author, Mary Smith. That was awesome and I can't wait to see her again. I spent some time in Virginia as well and that was wonderful. Overall, I say that I had a successful summer!

What are some things you did over the summer? What were your favorite books that you read over the summer?

Because I Like Making Lists & Goals

The first day of summer is June 21. That's practically right around the corner! I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. It seems like just yesterday I was having to remember to write 2013 and not 2012. Back to the point of this post, I figured I would make a list of goals for the summer for two reasons.

One, as the title of this post states, I like making lists and goals.

Two, I'm going back to college in the fall and I need to get some things accomplished before I start school. I'm planning on taking 7 classes (4 online, 3 face-to-face) and I'm not sure how busy it will keep me. The summer is going to be the time for me to get what I want to do this year done, especially with school taking over in August.
