March Goals

Check my February goals HERE

So, I learned an important lesson this month that is two-fold.  1) Don't wait until mid month to post your goals on your blog and 2) Don't forget to print them so they are in your face.  Surprisingly I did get more done then I thought I did but several of the items totally fell off my radar!  Quite a few of those items will be showing up again!
