I’m starting something new for the blog! Every month, I will be making a list of my goals for the month. These goals are outside of my ‘normal’ work day…stuff that I can do in my spare time! Yay for spare time…my heart just fluttered a wee bit with joy. This list right hee-yuh (here) will help me remain accountable & also, let you guys in on what I’m doing over at the Chandra’s Collection HQ! 🙂

Here are my goals for the month of August:

1. Take a day off to do something creative!

2. Have a 1-2 week (or faster) turn around time for all of my clients.

3. Blog more of my sessions! No, really…I’m going to start blogging more…starting now. See…I’m already on a roll! 🙂

4. Order my new business cards!

5. Attend my 1st Open House as a vendor. Yayyy! Can’t wait for this one!

6. Go to the winery with the girls. (So, apparently these goals aren’t strictly business.)

7. Order new canvas prints.

8. Print photos of my family & I – hang those bad boys in our house. 😉

9. Stay consistent with my editing style & blogging. Good Lawdy, this has been sooooo tough for me, but I finally think I have found my niche and I’m sticking to it. Consistency is key…that’s for sure!

10. Finish our DIY headboard & blog it for you guys to see how we did it!

11. Pay It Forward…some way, some how. It’s good for the soul. Can I get an amen?!

12. Speaking of getting an ‘AMEN’ – Read my Bible..every darn day! My sweet hubby got me a new Bible for my birthday on April 29th …you can totes save that date in your day planner if you want to..and I haven’t cracked it open nearly as much as I should have. I signed up for a 12-month reading program..and well, to be honest, I didn’t make it past week 2. I’m terrible getting better.

13. Update my website & create my “Raves” page that I’ve been meaning to make for the past 1,462 months.

14. Read a book…a really, really, really good book. (This excludes the Bible – it must be another one!) Any suggestions ya’ll?

15. Test out the video mode on my camera! I’ve been dying to explore this but it’s been on the very furthest, absolute back of the burner…but I’m putting it on my list because gosh dangit…it’s a goal that I want to accomplish and it’s not coming off of the list until it’s finished.

16. Find the perfect font that I will consistently use…ugh…why is this SO hard for me?! And you probably are wondering why I’m being so OCD about something so little as a font? #ArtistProblems

17. Eat healthy, workout at least 4 times a week & also drink more water for the sake of my kidneys. They say you can’t go 3 days without water…so, sometimes I wonder how I’m even alive after several days bc sometimes, I barely drink any water. It’s more like I have coffee flowing through my veins…but whatevs – Promise I’m changing that starting now!

18. Learn Film. Shoot Film. Love Film. – This is going to take a while…but by gollie..it’s staying on my list until it happens.

19. Attend a workshop. At least 1-2 a year!

Okay, well there you have it…my August goals. I will let you guys know how I did on these goals next month! Do you have any goals for this month? Making a list always helps me stay on track & stay focused!
