Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

2015 Monthly Goals {June}

monthly goals

Hello there and welcome to June 2015, I know I say it monthly and only because I feel it every time but where is the time rushing to. How is it possible that we already in June, how is it that next month I will be celebrating my 28th birthday day and my 2nd blogavesary?

Time flies when you’re having fun, at least that’s what they keep telling me.

For the last Four months I have been running a goals linky and not really been that successful so I have decided to put it on hold for now.

Let’s do a recap of last month’s goals

MAY 2015 GOALS

Buy a dress for my brother’s wedding – the one I found is out of stock {insert scream/crying} SUCCESS

Buy a bed and/or TV for my apartment {maybe TV first or is it bed – which is more important} SUCCESS, I bought both

Save money for my next holiday {Planning to go to Zambia again} Part success as I might not be going to Zambia anymore I want to head to S. Korea.

Spend some time with friends, at least one meal or cinema {I hate losing touch so will be making more of an effort} SUCCESS, a friend and I checked out the new restaurant in OXFORD.

Blog about my trip to South Korea {This is a must but sometimes I need reminders} SUCCESS, so far have done Day 0, Day 1, Day 2-3 and Namiseom {Island part 1}

Work on getting some more sponsorship for the blog. {I have been lazy for the last couple months need to wake up} SUCCESS, I have been so blessed in May so so blessed.

These were my goals for May, I had hoped to accomplish all of them. I am very pleased with myself for what I have accomplished.

For the June goals, I want to accomplish a lot for my place, my blog and maybe a holiday.

JUNE 2015 GOALS

Apartment – Spend a weekend sorting out what to give or throw and what to keep. I want to maintain my simple is more goal.

Blog – Attend who blog meet-ups I have been invited to, lately I had been slacking and need to change and meet other bloggers.

Blog – Complete all current reviews before accepting any new ones, I am so behind and need to really get on top of this. I am still learning how to say NO.

Blog – Finish all the Korea posts and get permission & photos to blog about my brother’s wedding.

Blog – Start working on improving my blog stats.

Holiday – I have the third weekend in June booked for a mini getaway but I want to book another for the 4th weekend in June.

These are some of my lazy goals for June, to check on my yearly goals click HERE.

What goals do you have set or want to accomplish for June?

    I’m right along with you with most of these blog goals! I’m super, super behind as well… but I’ve taken on so many projects OUTSIDE of cyberspace that I just need a while to clear my head, refocus and start knuckling down again. I’ve gotta do like you… just stop applying for/accepting new jobs until i’m all caught up. It would be such a nice feeling!
    Best of luck in your goals for this month! 🙂

    I have always had a list to do all my life and the goals I have set so long ago have been met and then some. I guess I can say I’m pretty proud of myself because not only have I met my goals, but there was one goal I finished for my dad and I’m sure he’s smiling down on me from heaven.

    Omg I wish I lived in an area with blog meet ups! When I lived in FL I went to so many! They help so much with building an email list etc! Now that I’m in WNY…. People are clueless on networking… I feel like I stepped back in time by how clueless people are -_-

    I need to start doing a monthly goal list, maybe I can stay more focused that way. I also do not socialize as much as I used to….and you will get to a point where saying no to review opps will be very easy lol. I used to be the same way, and after a while, I had no choice but to say no and prioritize which ones were more relevant.

      I think you need to do what works for you, I know monthly ones work better for me than weekly ones or yearly ones.

    I always think it is good to set realistic goals, but to also be flexible enough to change!

    These are great goals; realistic and most definitely achievable. I love getting inspiration from other people by reading their personal objectives. Mine are more study/exercise driven and related at the moment. Great post!
