My challenge has ended (although in reality it has only just begun). I thought briefly this morning about staying in bed as a prize to me for doing so well the whole month of August but I thought I would rather keep my streak running than sleep in. I think that is a good thing…
There are only three days left on my sheet to check off. Yesterday was the first day that I did not write something about my experience and that’s because I was busy checking off those blocks. Even spending most of the day away from home I still got them all checked off. It feels better…
The end is near. Every day draws me closer to the end of this challenge but I am not giving up just because a new month begins. This challenge has been great for my own life but has also touched my family. Something that good has to be continued. I have yet to tell my…
The more I do then the more I want to do. The last 25 days has helped me get motivated once again. I think that is what New Years Resolutions are about – motivation. The problem is that when we miss the target then we give up. This 31 Day Challenge has given me the…

Twenty days of doing the same thing every day. Twenty days of checking each item off even when it meant staying up late to get it done. Twenty days of putting my head down and pushing through. It feels good to build consistency in my life. The different things are not yet a natural part…
