November Challenge: Early to Bed, Early to Rise



Callie on the Lake

So I must say August’s challenge has been one of my favorites!! September’s went BUST. October never got off the ground-even though I had picked out what I wanted to do. November is here and what I’ve challenged myself with is a little “early to bed early to rise” action. Now for me, early to bed is 1am or sooner. I’m an insomniac and have been all my life. To combat this, I’ve been trying to make sure I’m all set and ready for the next day by the Midnight mark and making sure I’m all ready for bed when sleep does come knocking at my brain. So far the challenge is, well, a challenge. I’ve been doing much better at the rising early party but the early to bed portion is still a challenge. I have been heading to my room around 11pm or Midnight to ready myself for bed for the most part but of course there was a certain movie premiere this week that had me getting in around 3am so there was no early to bed and barely an early to rise the next day with that one.  But I am confident if I keep up the good work with this, not only will have a great challenge month under my belt I will also have a great new habit! I’ll let you know how it goes!!!

Goal Boards & Inspiration Boards

Goal Board Inspiration Board Today I want to show you two great tools you can use to help keep your goals in front of you and encourage you to accomplish them. They are Goal & Inspiration Boards. There is a difference between the two and I'm going to let you take a look at some of mine and explain how I use them. These two simple and easy as well as fun tools have helped me so much to achieve my dreams and goals since I've been using them.  Here's a little peak at my office. You will see my Inspiration Board near my desk and (not pictured) my Goal Board is a much larger board on the other wall opposite my Inspiration Board. They are always visible to me which is great because as you can see, I like to keep my things at arms reach. My Goal Board is used to keep my Yearly Resolutions, Weekly & Monthly Goals, as well as my Wellness & Business goals on. Though the Weekly/Monthly Goals change often, the Board itself gets changed out seasonall

Just Walk In by Natasha Medina

In my personal Bible study the past 5 weeks I’ve been studying the Exodus and journey of the Israelites with Moses toward Canaan. Today was the beginning of week 6 in the study where Moses hands the baton to Joshua as becomes God’s chosen leader of Israel. One of the first contrasts noted is the difference in reaction of the two men when they were called. In Exodus 3 where Moses is called by God Himself Moses seems to almost try and talk God out of choosing him for a leader. He brings us all kinds of “if” situations and excuses why he shouldn’t be the man. In Exodus 17:10 where we first meet Joshua we see none of this excuse giving; instead we see obedience and a “just do it” kind of attitude. Thirty-eight years later we see Joshua take on the responsibility of leading the Israelites into the Promised Land with that same courageous spirit and attitude that he had when taking up the fight against the Amalekites. In today’s study I noticed a common theme of belief and courage. Believin
