Treasures,

It’s been a bonkerdoodles year… so much out of mine (or anyone’s control).

And I know I want to finish my year strongly, so I thought it was time to revisit my original Goals workbook for 2020, do a review of the goals I’ve set, and set some new ones too! After all: the research shows that setting goals & regularly reviewing them results in far more success!

I’m excited to get my new 2021 Goal Getter planners & workbooks… but first it’s time to complete 2020 as beautifully as I can.

In today’s episode, I share a few of my biggest goals from 2020. I cover a wide range of topics such as ethical investment decisions, travel plans, Christmas preparations, self-education courses, racial and social justice training, and progress on various business goals.

I also share my lovely reading journey; 75 books, babes! Yes! I set a new goal to read 100 books for the year and I share a comprehensive list of books I plan to read, showcasing a diverse range of genres and topics.

I’m determined to finish the year strongly and achieve as much as possible! I have art projects, a photo shoot, health goals and heaps of family fun goals I want to achieve before the end of the year. There is SO much to share!

Righto… here’s a roundup of my 2020 goals below! (If they’ve been crossed out, they are already done!) Grab a cozy spot, and join me today!
