It is one I will want to come back to and spend more time visiting. <br /><br />As for goals in July of 2011 I had a dream of writing a year long devotional book. So I began at that time writing daily M-F and have not yet missed a day of posting yet. I have learned a lot in almost 2 years of daily blogging. I still need to work on the editing it all down if it is to become a book at some point. I have taken some little steps in that direction and did complete a e-book from last years A-Z posts and I hope to do the same with this years A-Z posts.<br /><br />You are right about needing to take action. I hear a lot of people share their dreams but the ones that inspire me are the people who took the steps to make their dreams reals so others could experience them. <br /><br />Have a great A-Z<br />Blessings, Margot <br />Margot at <a href="http://devotionals-margot.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">A Devotional Mosaic</a> and <a href="http://http://sparkmycreativity.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Spark My Creativity</a>Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07655602086395374599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-70788164618274395652013-04-05T15:03:17.640-04:002013-04-05T15:03:17.640-04:00My daily "goals" are more like the pirat...My daily "goals" are more like the pirate's code from Pirates of the Caribbean - they're more like guidelines. Which means they aren't hard and fast and they can get pushed to the wayside when other things crop up.<br /><br />That's one of the things I'm working on now, is having daily writing goals.
