Dreams and Goals for March

 

February felt strange in my heart/mind/world. I had such an organized and purposeful January, and then I felt behind for most of February. Thankfully it was a short month, right? Because of the discombobulation, my overarching goal for this month before us is to get and stay ahead of the game. The only thing I really like to have scrambled is my eggs. 😊 Life? Not so much.

                With that said, here are my dreams and goals for March.

Decorate the house with spring in mind. This past weekend, I took down anything that nodded toward snow, and that alone made me feel better. We don’t have an extraordinary amount of spring décor, but over the last couple of years, I’ve added a few more pieces, and I’m excited to display them. The goal is to bring in a little bit of color and anything that feels light and cheery!

Continue prepping for spring speaking. My first local speaking will be in April, and I have a handful of days scheduled between April and May. I have a good start on this but need to work on it more specifically to make sure I’m prepared when those days come!

Participate in Lent. I haven’t made a daily Lenten observation for many years now, but I know this is a year I need to do that. Several years ago (primarily prior to marriage) I had some significant years of heart growth during Lent, and my deep hope is that the same will be true of this year.

Take steps toward licensing. As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve taken the initial steps toward being licensed in ministry. Over the course of the next few weeks, I’ll be taking a few more steps in that direction. I’ll have some meetings and do a little writing…and I’m looking forward to what I learn in the process!

Take two on the garden planning. And by planning, I mostly mean I need to block off my shopping/planting days before they get eaten up with everything else. While I am excited for the planting and growing, I am most excited to welcome warm weather…so if this brings me one step closer to that, I’m all for it. This was the one thing from last month’s goals that I didn’t accomplish, so here’s to a second chance!

                I think this will be plenty, given all I have going on in other aspects of life, so we’ll cap off the goals right here. How about you, though? Any dreams for this month?
