September Goals

With September starting - it's time for new goals!  I always hesitate to post my actual goals because I already know that I won't accomplish things and I don't want to be judged on that but I also think it's good accountablity and gives me a slight motiviation to work on things so I can have some success to share at the end of the month HA! \
