May's Monthly Goals

Monthly Goals

One of my goals is to create a monthly goals list! I always write down items as I go throughout my day but I desired to organize it monthly at the beginning of each month and on purpose think about what I needed, what I needed to do, and what my family and community needed from me. In an effort, to at last set that goal, I have begun with May! In order to keep myself accountable, I will update this post in June on what I have accomplished in May. ~~~Be Inspired~~~
