Thanks rezzeJ

This is very timely since the heading on my last entry was

    MARCH 2015 -AUGUST 2015
and here it is August 1, 2015.

My year has certainly taken an unexpected turn and my new goal is

1. Start life over again (and again and again)

Not quite sure what that will look like yet, but I should know by the end of 2015. There will be lawyers.

Meanwhile let's look at the previous goals:

Write a blog a day during Ramadan. I didn't quite do this, but I did pick up my blog again and have written nine new blogs on Lil's Book of Questions since June 20 and had over 2000 views in July. I also added three new blogs on hubski-inspired Write Better Dammit blog. I'll be writing a lot more there when I start teaching in the fall.

All my work goals are done and I figured out FlipKey, mostly. But it's a very irritating AirBnB-type website and their customer service is terrible, so far.

So starting August 1, today, my goal is to write some goals, privately in my journal for the next five months. I'll stick this at the top of my feed as a reminder to add my goals to our glorious private Google Doc.

Never stop starting over again! It's one thing we do have control over. I don't know the extent of your situation, but I hope it works its way into something more positive for you in the coming months.

Nice job on the blogging, that's a great amount of views. It's always unique, interesting, and insightful content as far as I can see, so I can only see that figure upholding and improving.

Good luck on cultivating some more private goals. Sometimes it's best when we keep them to ourselves for a while.
