promise ME | 1/2 way point...

Can you believe it's been six months ago I (we) started our promise ME journey?

I've received emails and notes from those of you participating and your progress and goals inspire me!!

And that's what this year-long adventure is all about...
inspiration to be motivated to do that ONE thing...
(or those 42 things)...
you've got on your list. *wink*

And ultimately...

the things on your list are YOURS.

The promises you've made are to YOURSELF.

No one else will ever know if you accomplished what you've set out to do...

But YOU will.

So how are you doing?
Where are you at compared to Day One of this adventure?

Take a minute today and re-evaluate where you are in your journey...

Pat yourself on the back for the things you've accomplished. (promise #33 for me)

High-five yourself for the little steps you've taken to get you closer to keeping your promise(s). (promise #10 for me)

And if you happen to find you've allowed six months to pass without so much as taking a step...

There's still time.

You've got, (we've got), six more months to keep our promises to ourselves.

So...
If you've been stuck...
or have found yourself procrastinating...
it's time to look ahead and move on.

You aren't answering to anyone but yourself on this journey.

And that's the beauty of it.
We can motivate each other...
Lift one another...
Encourage...

However...
When it all comes down to it...
it's on YOU!!
And it's important to make YOU a priority.
Afterall...YOU are the "main thing" it's going to take to keep your promises...



Remember to have FUN along the way...
(this is SUPPOSED to be joyful)

and for those of you feeling defeated...

I hope you enjoyed your holiday yesterday!!!
It's a short work week...
Let's make the very most of it!!
See you back here tomorrow!!!

KEEPiNG iT REAL
Although it was Labor Day yesterday...
I took it literally and labored away on some design projects I needed to catch up on.
J had to work 1/2 day and the girls ended up hanging out with their cousin for the day.
As strange as it may sound...
It was actually really nice to have everyone else in the world enjoying a day off...
while I got caught up on work.
That meant less emails and distractions for me! *wink*
