I used to think vision boards were a waste of time until this month, when a series of storms prompted a change of heart.
A change of heart
The last ten years
Over the course of this decade, I was consistently inconsistent. I started blogging but didn't always do it monthly, I took up running but still don't do it regularly. Consistency is key to success.

My plan didn't factor in multiple moves across the country or layoffs or delays--the unforeseen things that *seemed* to slow me down.
