Ready for a little real-talk my friends? As much as I love goals posts, I have to admit that more times than not they are just discouraging.  I mean, I list out the things that I want to accomplish and month after month, things don’t get quite finished.  If it happened once in a while that would be a different story, but last year I just spent the first day of each month discouraged instead of delighted.  Finally this month, I looked at my list and saw it checked off, or at least in progress.  What a relief!! And so the thing I learned this month is that goal setting isn’t about the things you’re saying, it’s how realistic the goals are!  Reasonably, I’m not going to accomplish a three-month-long process in one month! So take heart friends, this goal-setting process is just that – a process!

Anywho let’s head right into the month at a glance:

february’s happenings

• After a whirlwind of January’s travels, I’m excited to get my feet back on the ground and into a better routine.  This month will be a month of putting my head down and getting work done!
• It’s our last month of ski season (most likely) and I am already craving better weather so that I can be outside more.  Anyone else with me?
• This month’s TuesdaysTogether meet-up is February 7, because the second week of the month is Valentine’s day… I’m excited to chat through email marketing strategy with friends at the meet-up!
• Also, let it go on the record that to fill up a little extra space in this post, I was going to add to the list what we’re doing for Valentine’s Day – but I had to ask Morgan first, and we have no idea.  LOL #keepingitreal
