My 2014 and 2015 Goals
At the beginning of the year I talked about goals and I told y'all I'd share some of my 2014 and 2015 goals and today's the day. Just as a quick recap: To be a good goal it has to be 1) Specific, 2) Measurable, 3) Written down, and 4) Have a deadline.
2014 Year-Long Goals
In 2014, if the Lord wills and I live, I have Where Dandelions Grow all ready to publish {Incomplete, but I did move forward with the book}
In 2014, if the Lord wills and I live, I have the second Creation Quest book published {Nope! Didn't get much done on this one at all...}
In 2014, if the Lord wills and I live, I have the first Action Kids book published {YES!}
In 2014 if the Lord wills and I live, I read 50 books, at least 22 non-fiction {YES! Way exceeded this goal with over 120 books...}
In 2014, if the Lord wills and I live, I have my Action Kids Club up and going {Yes, but not as consistently as I was hoping}
In 2014, if the Lord wills and I live, I have someone to do illustrations for the Action Kids Club {YES!}
In 2014, if the Lord wills and I live, I am on either TV or radio at least once (for my book stuff) {No...}
In 2014, if the Lord wills and I live, I hold at least two book signings {YES!}
In 2014, if the Lord wills and I live, I am in a newspaper at least once (For my book stuff) {Nope...}
In 2014, if the Lord wills and I live, I make Mommy a blanket {YES!}
In 2014, if the Lord wills and I live, I keep up with my platforms on the Internet, but will not become consumed by them {Yes, pretty much.}
In 2014, if the Lord wills and I live, I memorize at least 50 Bible verses {Yes}
I had several more personal goals that I did complete and a few that I worked on, but didn't finish. Plus I had my weekly and daily goals that I only missed a couple of them maybe once or twice the whole year.
2015 Year Long Goals: (I also have several I'm not sharing on here.)
Writing: In 2015, if the Lord wills and I live, I write the second Creation Quest book. Get it edited and start illustrations.
In 2015, if the Lord wills and I live, I write the second Action Kids book. Get it edited and illustrated and self-published.
In 2015, if the Lord wills and I live, I get Where Dandelions Grow completely ready and decide where I’m going to get it published - if I’m going to self-publish it, get the date all set.
In 2015, if the Lord wills and I live, I finish the first draft of When Life Hands You Lymes
Physical:
In 2015, if the Lord wills and I live, I walk at least 250 miles.
In 2015, if the Lord wills and I live, I walk 20 miles in one day.
Business:
In 2015, if the Lord wills and I live, I do 15 book signings.
In 2015, if the Lord wills and I live, I get 10 places to sell my books.
In 2015, if the Lord wills and I live, I’m on the radio, TV or in the newspaper at least once.
Spiritual:
In 2015, if the Lord wills and I live, I memorize 50 verses.
In 2015, if the Lord wills and I live, I read 3 Bible study or devotional books.
Mental:
In 2015, I will read 25 non-fiction books.
Financial:
In 2015, if the Lord wills and I live, I will keep track of all the money I spend until the end of May
In 2015, if the Lord wills and I live, I will create a budget for May through December.
I also have my daily and weekly goals that I'm working on that help me to stay on track to accomplish these goals in 2015. Eventually I'll be working on a time-line that will help me have varying deadlines in 2015 so I can pick which projects to work on first, but I've been so busy I haven't done that yet.

What about you? Do you have goals for this year? I'd be delighted to hear them!
