Jessica: Grateful that the daytime temperatures have risen into at least the low double-digits!
Today’s post is the continuation of my chat with Julia on the topic of goals. Whenever we get together we tend to lose track of time and our conversation ended up going on long enough to span three podcast episodes. I hope that you will enjoy this second installment!

While I don’t do new year’s resolutions any more, I do set myself goals for things that are important to my daily life, health and things that will make me happy once achieved. I also am realistic that life happens making goals change or take longer than expected. So I’m not a big timeline person meaning it has to be done by such and such day. I might have I hope to have it done by, but don’t whip myself if it takes longer. A prime example is I set a goal this year to lose weight. Now everyone on my dad’s side of the family has had weight issues all their life. Me included. But for health reasons and to feel better both bodily and in mind, I am determined to once again lose some weight. It’s a goal that I’m determined to achieve but I also know there will beset backs and issues along the way. For me the course may vary, but it’s a matter of keeping my eye on the goal – even when I take a step backwards.
