Do you enjoy goal setting? I do! I love setting goals! I love planning, thinking about what I can achieve. It’s the following through that I suck at. Which is why I am making my #50_before50 goals so public. It’s really for accountability. And because I hate failing publicly. It’s my worst fear. Yes, more […]
Ups and Downs #50_before50
It’s a fact- as you get older time just moves more quickly. Except for this year. The one year when I would love a blink-and-it’s-gone feeling. This year just. won’t. end. August brought a couple of wins, but it also brought an unexpected disaster, which also reminded us that we are surrounded with some of […]
Steady On #50_before50
All things considered, July was a fairly quiet month. Well, except for the days around Independence Day. Those were noisy! Fireworks sales in my area were high and plenty of people had their own celebrations as everything in the area was cancelled. I had a couple of wins, added my final #50_before50 goal to the […]
The One Where Things Start to Look Better #50_before50

The relentless COVID coverage was only the beginning. The senseless murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis which sparked protests and riots only added to the […]

My First #50_before50 WINS!
When it comes to goal setting we need to add in a few easy WINS to stay motivated and keep moving forward. I thought I had that with Goal 37, a family getaway over Christmas break. Unfortunately my easy win turned to a fail with one distracted driver. Thankfully I had two WINS come pretty […]
What’s Your Goal for 2020? #50_before50
Horns were tooted, glasses were clinked, and fireworks were lit. January 1, 2020 is here. New month, new year, new decade. What are you going to do with it? Do You Have a Goal for 2020? As you may have seen, I have 50 things I want to do before I am 50. Which will […]
My First #50_before50 Failure
The thing with goals is that you know some of them will fail. Or manifest differently than you had planned. Such is the fate of goal #37 – Christmas break in Gulf Shores, Alabama. I had hoped to be writing a #50_before50 goal achieved post while sipping a fruity umbrella drink and burying my toes […]
