Hey friends, who’s ready for July? Me! June was insane so hopefully July will be better… I know, it wont… I say that every month. I say “this month I’m going [do better/get more of my crap together/rock my July Goals/be less busy/etc.] and it never happens. Oh well, I guess it’s okay to embrace the fact that I don’t know when to slow down or stop taking on so much stuff! Maybe someday? Who knows-but I do know it’s time for July Goals and The Monthly Goals Linky Party! If you’re new here, there are instructions at the bottom, but the short of it is just this: write up a post with your July goals, add our button (code at the bottom), link up with the party, and then visit some other fabulous goal-diggers and support them in their efforts! Simple and fun.
