I say this literally every month, but I honestly can’t believe it’s September already. This year is going by much faster than I thought it was going to. I can’t complain though, with each month that goes by I’m one month closer to moving and living with D again, a desire that’s very real in my heart. Anyway, let’s get to last month’s goals:

• Work on our relationship + visit D  –  Done! I feel so good about where we are in our relationship, and I visited and had a blast. I had such a blast exploring Charleston with him, and as I have said many times on Instagram, I’m super excited to be moving over there!
• Work on a new opt in incentive for newsletter subscribers  –  This one didn’t go so well. I had a plan on something to offer, and then halfway through the month I got an idea for a new offering, and well, the opt in incentive fell to the back burner.
• Read The Desire Map  –  Done! This book being the Creative Club’s book club book was an extra kick of motivation to get it read, and I’m so happy I did. I read and then took around a week or so to work through the workbook, and I’m just thrilled with how the whole experience was. I’m excited for my CDFs and my intentions that go with them.
• Practice yoga + meditation every day ( or most days )  –  Done! It feels good to check this one off my list. Y’all – I even did this while on vacation. That’s a big deal. I’m feeling more comfortable in both practices, so I’m eager to keep working on them this month.

So, all in all, last month was a great month. I had a ton of design work that I’m super happy with, and I feel really good about these goals. I do really wish I could have pulled off that incentive, but I’ll get to it. I will. So now, what about this month?

• Plan a second trip to see D – I know this may seem crazy, but living apart is hard and one of the great ways to get through it for me ( aside from us actually being able to chat every day ) has been to plan on going to visit. I had such a great time this past weekend, and I’m already thinking about when I’ll go back. We’ve already got a few places we want to go, so I’m hoping to have a good amount ( but not too much ) to do.
• Analyze survey results + begin moving towards next step in building new offering – I mentioned last week that I’m in the process of building a new offering, and I posted a survey for y’all. I’m really excited about this new offering, so I’m very eager to analyze the survey results and start moving forward. 
• Finish reading ( or listening ) to Three to Get Deadly + read Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook – I’m so happy I took some “me” time last month to read, and I’m really wanting to do that again this month. On my way to see D on Friday, I listened to about half of Three to Get Deadly, so I want to finish that book and read JJJRH as it’s been on my list for several months. I love having an hour or so to relax with a good book, so I’m happy to have this on my list. 
• Go for two months no soda – I didn’t talk about this last month ( I don’t think! ), but I am working on kicking my soda habit. It’s been prominent in my life since I was little, and I’m just over it. Over the past few years I’ve significantly cut my consumption, but I’ve never gone a whole month ( I don’t think, again! ) without it. However, I have now! All but the first two days of August I was soda-free, I’m happy to say! I want to keep that up, so I’m going for no soda this month either!

Other than that, I’m also challenging myself to keep up my yoga + meditation practices and to continue my previous months’ income trends with this month as well.
