It sounds like you got a lot done this month, good for you! I'm pleased that I've done well with my blog schedule and have kept on track with that. I'm finishing up a really good book by Elisabeth Allen called: “The Abolitionist”. I’m also keeping on track of the editing of my books. Life is good! Praise the Lord!
God bless!

Good job reaching your goals, Aidyl! You are quite the journaler! Do you write by hand or do you type your journals? I have just picked back up on journal writing. My goal is to finish 5 of them in a year. I have 1 of them finished so far… really there is so much in life I don't want to forget… and there's a comfort in it as well. 🙂 So you found someone to do your illustrations? That's exciting!
Other goals I've finished this month was reaching 10k in my book in progress. My other goal was to get over my fear of acting before our play next week… but I am still scared when it's my time! 🙂 Oh well – still a week to work on it!
Have a wonderful weekend, Aidyl!
