Happy New Year! I am looking forward to a great year and I am so excited about our Mindful Mission 2012 Challenge. I’ve spent some time brainstorming my first goal for 2012. I love organization.

Martha’s Blog: Starting the New Year

Martha’s Blog: Going the Distance with Your Goal.

Think back to the beginning of 2010. Did you set any goals in the New Year? I did. I wanted to complete a half marathon. In April, I finished my 13.1 miles in Wilmington, NC. I was nervous at the start of the race, but I quickly fell into a good, but slow rhythm of [...]
