The first entry in this series can be found here!
In the first entry in this series, I looked back on 2017. What worked? What didn't? What were my big takeaways? I found a lot of good things there! So, knowing all that, I'm ready to move on to the next steps.
STEP FOUR
What's one thing I want to cultivate in the year ahead?
I want to cultivate fresh starts and possibilities, and peace.
STEP FIVE
What challenges did I face in 2017?
I didn't send out as many book proposals as I wanted to; my exercise plan wasn't consistent, although it got better in the last few months of the year.
STEP SIX
Who helped me cultivate what matters in 2017?
There is a whole list in my PowerSheets about this, and I have been so blessed with great friends and opportunities this year. If I listed them all, we'd be here for ever, but I will say that the people I met at Making Things Happen were HUGE motivators for me to go home and really CHANGE THINGS UP.
