If you asked me in June if I wanted to sit down and do some goal planning, I would have likely said no. I am so immersed inย doingย that slowing down mid-year to plan feels strange.

Then December hits and all I can think about is dreaming about what next year could look like and the many things I might want to accomplish.

I recently saw this quote from Vincent Van Gogh and wasย InspiHERed.

โ€œIf you hear a voice within you say you cannotย paint,
then by all meansย paintย and that voice will be silenced.โ€

I am feeling that urge to put down on paper those logicalย โ€œI know I will get them doneโ€ย ย goals as well as visioning about what my heart secretly yearns to do.

Asking myself โ€œWhat, if I pursued it,ย  would make my body tingle and my smile widen?โ€

You may not have had a voice within telling you that you cannot paint yet I know you have heard the whisper that says, โ€œIโ€™ll get to that dream somedayโ€ or ย โ€œI have no time to do that fun thing right nowโ€ or even โ€œItโ€™s too late to think about doing that. Iโ€™m too old, too poor, too busy…โ€

If living through a pandemic has taught me anything it is that life is precious, and it is meant to be fully lived.
Thatย โ€œFalse Evidence Appearing Realโ€, otherwise known asย FEAR, is not going to stop me from pursuing even those things that seem crazy or out of reach.

And donโ€™t let it stop you either.
