Last year, I made a list of what I thought were going to be really difficult goals, and I honestly think God was laughing at me. He literally blew my mind with everything that has happened professionally.
I must stop for just one second and tell you that this blog does not belong to me. If you have never heard me say it before, Meet Penny belongs to God. She has always been His and will always be His. So, I cannot brag about anything that happens here because it is not from me but from Him. I am just a vessel – a broken, messed-up, cracked pot – who He chooses to use… and most of the time, I have no idea why He trusts me and loves me so much.
Professional Goals
- Complete three ebooks and offer all existing ebooks for Kindle & Nook.
- Completely format and start the new Meet Penny community forum
- Guest post on 4 blogs
- Attend 3 conferences
- Build a Squidoo portfolio
- Continue to grow the consulting side of our business
- Add 5 products each week to Penny’s Favorites and pin them to Pinterest.
- Create a blog at Mommy Time Party and build subscribers.
- Have four successful Mommy Time Facebook parties.
- Complete my personal website and our new company website.
- Mentor, support, and encourage other bloggers through my Facebook group.
Personal Goals
- Develop the character of discipline in my routine, eating habits, and work hours.
- Join a family fitness program.
- Build a mentoring relationship with my neighbor.
- Host a block party.
- Deliberately encourage my children with blessings and Scripture at least twice a day.
- Go out on a date, no matter how frugal, with my husband once a month.
Homeschool Goals
- Finally join our local 4-H group.
- Attend 1 field trip each month with our co-op or homeschooling friends.
- Encourage Lira to finish 3rd grade.
- Finish All About Reading Level One with Franc and begin Level Two.
- Have Ruble’s speech assessed if his language does not improve.
- Take the pacifier from Ariary and see her transitioned to a regular bed.

Awesome goals! When you let Him lead…..He does amazing things!
Thanks for being a vessel and mentor!
See you soon!
I can’t wait! Going to be a good time on the BEECH. 😉
Thanks for being such a wonderful bloggy-friend.
You are an inspiration! I spoke with you on facebook a little as we are “neighbors” (I live just north of Gulfport). I started a blog last year and have had a very hard time blogging regularly. I have 2 grown children in Michigan and 4 children that I home school. So I really appreciate your idea of setting goals. I think that is something I need to do. And I totally agree with God owning the blog and everything else! Thanks again for your inspiration!
It is my privilege to be in a position where I can encourage despite all of my faults. Thank you so much for your sweet comment. May God bless you richly this year. 🙂
