4 Big Intentional Goals & My Focus Word for 2020

January 1, 2020 Leave a Comment

4 Big Intentional Goals and Focus Word

Planning is everything right? Well last year I had some hopes and strategies, but not true attainable goals for this space. I didn’t really write them down and I didn’t tell anyone. It’s been a series of honest conversations and some deeper digging to regain my purpose for blogging. However, this year is going to be different! I’ve been working on 4 BIG intentional goals and a focus word that will steer this blog’s ship. No more wishing it happened for 2020.

I’ve loved (not every moment), of blogging. For the last six years it’s given me opportunities to meet new people, work with some amazing companies, and connect in ways I wouldn’t normally. It’s been great to see my own evolution as a person, mom, and even our family through the years of documentation. With that, going back and forth as to whether I should be satisfied with just writing or trying to make a “name” for myself has been a hang up.

Finding this year’s focus word

So here is my visual review of my posting calendar for the blog. Yikes…

4 Big Intentional Goals and Focus Word

Do you see that? I barely posted and I wasn’t consistent at all when I did. I remember a friend/reader sharing that she enjoyed my content, but never knew when it was coming again… me neither! And that’s where I knew this year’s focus word has to be: Consistency.

I desire growth, not just to gain numbers. But I’ve worked hard enough in life to know that numbers do mean something and I don’t need to ignore them. Also having to encourage myself that it’s not selfish to want to grow in this area, because I do invest money and time.

It’s not just one thing to have a focus word, but you have to have intentional goals. Sometimes I shy away from BIG goals, but I want bigger things for 2020 in this area… so here it goes!

Alright, here are my 4 BIG Intentional Goals!

  1. Consistently blog 2-3 times a week.
  2. Share more content of navigating my life and motherhood through my faith and God’s truth & grace.
  3. Improve my readership with an average of 100+ readers
  4. Reach 2,500+ for my Instagram

I’m owning these goals, because I feel free enough to not owe an explanation to others. In years past I was always nervous that in sharing I would be wanting too much and not be grateful. However, year seven I don’t want this opportunity of influence to stay stagnant or useless. I’m coming in 2020 with intentional goal setting and a clear focus.

Do you have goals for hobbies or spaces that you occupy? I’m rooting for you friend, let’s do it!

That’s it... that’s the caption and joke 😂 #humorwithkids
Follow Me... Through the gospels I see Jesus call Follow Me...

Through the gospels I see Jesus calling for people to follow him. Not to a program or an event - but the opportunity to watch him live life in Spirit and in Truth. Live in a way that brought each person closer to God not the creeds of religion. 

I remember the last few years of full time ministry for me how a mentor of mine challenged me to reevaluate how I was on boarding/leading people to Jesus. How was I teaching others to see Christ more than a method or strategy.

That work is different.

It’s also life giving. 

As I continue to read through the scriptures I’m reminded to clarify don’t follow me. JOIN me as I follow Christ and we’ll walk, grow, fail, and learn from Him together.

If we all saw each other as fellow students rather than how we believe our gifts elevate ourselves over one another. 

“The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.” Luke‬ ‭6:40‬ #readwithme30

Some homeschool days we’re all killin it. Everyo Some homeschool days we’re all killin it. Everyone is excited, there’s cool ways of learning, and it’s a win all around!

Other days it feels like I’m pulling teeth...everyone is dragging and I’m herding cats - y’all I’m not a cat person either 😑 

[ad] In trying out ways to help with focus and changing up our routines. I’m seeing how techniques and even incorporating @maryruthorganics Focus & Attention for kids all natural supplements is a beneficial addition. 

We’ve been moving more towards organic and clean options from the inside out especially in our diet. I started off with their postpartum probiotics and now introducing this line for our kids 👌🏽
