Goals update for July and August

I am really late for my goals update and thought it best to combine the last two months!

I just want to add to add I wasn’t born in 1932!! I took the photos with my mobile so the images aren’t great.

Personal Goals

Home and work life balance

As predicted, late home each night from work so far this term. I’ll wait out the term before reviewing this goal

Fitness

Purchased a balancing platform to help build core strength and keeping balance. One minute a day. Surely, that is doable!
- Amendment to above purchase, managed once in the entire month of August. Head shake.

Photography

I did take photos while in Yallingup. Great shots of surfers and of the waves crashing.
- I did take photos of murals in my home town. (see above)

Food and wine

Came across some new wineries in Margaret River. It was very educational 😉
- I am doing quite well here; wine purchases are growing. Going to need a wine cellar soon.

Professional Goals

Teaching

I have decided to not to apply for leadership positions as it will take me away from main goal of writing.
- This hasn’t changed. My goal is now to focus on writing. Teaching will help pay the bills!

Writing

Great news. The Guardian’s Legacy is soon to be released into the publishing world, and Book 3 of Servant of the Gods series is with my editor. Now I need to get back into writing Book 2 in the Coin of Time series and my historical romance book.
- More good news. Have received early positive reviews for The Guardian’s Legacy and Minotaur’s Lair Book 3 in the Servant of the Gods series is now with my editor.

Still reading the Serenity Prayer.

I did have a few days here where I didn’t read the prayer.

July came and went in a flash, and I have a feeling the remainder of the year will be the same. My focus for the next two months will be preparing for the book launch. I did manage to get a way for a week in our South West. I definitely needed the break away and I took lots of photos, some of which I have added here for you to look at.

So, August came and went. And there is less than 30 days to the book launch. I do have a competition, one of three. If you pre-order an ecopy, screenshot your receipt and email it to me: au***********@*****ok.com, and you’ll be in the running to win a signed paperback.
