Nice book list! I read a couple of those this year (Own Your Life and A Million Little Ways…). Both were excellent!
Glad to hear you liked those books, Sara! I've read part of Own Your Life, and I love that one for sure!

I love the bright colors in the winter months especially! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Franca!
Joy, what a great list of goals. I keep kind of a running list, including some goals, but I need to be more purposeful in reading the goals and not just doing the pressing things. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you, Donna! That seems to be the most difficult thing about goal setting—making sure to go back and review them now and then. I've struggled with that also. So glad you stopped by!
