Yes, it’s all real. Sometimes people ask, “How real are you on your blog?” or “Are you the same person in real life as in online /blog life?” To which I must answer a resounding “YES”. This is me, the real me. My life is an open book. I am not hiding anything, not running from anything, not trying to escape anything when I blog. I blog because I love it. It is fun, it allows me to write without having to worry about grammatical errors or being right or wrong or if it sounds right, it’s just my thoughts that is all it is.

I also continue to blog because I LOVE the blogging community. Never before have I made so many connections with so many people. Moms, momprenuers, WAHMs, SAHMS, others, all who blog and have this as our sometimes only connection but its amazing to see. I’ve met moms who are Christian but I’ve also met some who claim to have no religion yet I still connect with them. It’s awesome and I love it.

I feel it’s a great way to share and you know what every single testimony I share and blessing that I tell about is real. God is working in my life just like I’m telling you. I am struggling with the issues I blog about I am not making them up. I do set the goals I set, I don’t just put those up here to look good. This is real and I am loving every minute of being real with you.

How about you, is your blog real, do you love blogging, do you enjoy the mom blog and other blog communities you are a part of, is the online world as much a part of your life as the offline…. how do you feel? Tell me about it here or blog about it and return here to post the link in the comments. I want to hear from you!

I’m writing this post for all you ladies who are hopping over from Lysa Terkeurst’s blog about She Speaks. Yes, I’ll be there. Even though I will be 36 weeks pregnant, read more about why this is so important to me here and why I believe this is a God thing here.

I want to say thanks to those of you who did come over from Lysa’s blog for coming and that I can’t wait to “meet” you. I am in awe that there will be 500 ladies there. Did I mention I’m bringing my husband? We celebrate 8 years together on June 17 and come to She Speaks later that week. It will be out “time away” just before baby #3 is born. AHHH!!! I hope I don’t loose him in all those women.

So, ladies, I LOVE comments so be sure to leave me one. If you’ve attended She Speaks before give me your best advice on getting the most out of it. If you have never attended before tell me briefly why you are attending. I would love to know everyone’s reasons.

The other day I set some goals for She Speaks because well I’m just a goal setter. I wouldn’t be me without a PLAN and a GOAL. So here are my goals for She Speaks.

My Goals for She Speaks

• I want to get a clearer vision of where I am going with my ministry.
• I want to learn how to market myself better.
• I want to decide if I am going to pursue becoming a published author.

If you have goals why not post them on your blog and then post the link in my comments and I’ll come over and read them and root you on. I love to be an encouragement to others. Again, I can’t wait to “Meet” you all at She Speaks. I fly out 3 weeks from today! WHOO HOO!!!

I created this list on Sunday night during my planning session, but wanted to post something on my blog each day this week, so I chose today for this list. I told you all I was a list fanatic and create a ton of them. This one is particularly motivating though, there is nothing like a good goals list. I think moms should have goals don’t you???

Here is my monthly goals list for May as done like my friend Chrys suggested and I blogged about on Sunday.

May Goals:

• Bring in an income of $1500
• make more affiliate income
• gain new Writer for Hire clients with expansion
• finish up Spring cleaning projects
• Stick to Household Cleaning Routines
• Get 100 members at Organizing Network
• Blog weekly at Organized Life by Design in each category
• Blog once a week at Beauty by Design Ministries
• once a week at Chrysanthemoms
• Blog 5 days out of the week here at personal blog

That is 10 good goals, cheer me on as I try to reach them!!
