Happy 2015!

Today is the start of a new year, and a new plan for my blog. I have been publishing twice weekly (sometimes more, occasionally less) for the past five years. It’s a labor of love and learning. Through my blog, I have discovered how much joy it brings me to share what I am learning and to help others.

With that in mind, I am scaling back my blog to one posting a week so I may focus my efforts in other areas, including:

1. Furthering life coaching skills
2. Creating a book that is a compilation of the best of my blogs
3. Writing my novel.

That is a lot to tackle in one year, especially with a full-time job. I am not focused on completion, but rather on advancing each one. By mid-year I will assess how I am doing and decide what my next steps are.

I want to thank each of you for reading, commenting and encouraging me throughout the years. In 2014, according to WordPress, this blog was viewed about 5,000 times. A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people so if my blog were a NYC subway train, it would take about four trips to carry that many people!

My new friend Tiffany Ervin led to the most popular blog post, “Doing What It Takes to Pay the Mortgage.” She offered great tips at the 2014 NFPW Conference, which I then summarized and posted as a blog.

I’m looking forward to 2015, and hope you are, too.

As always, I encourage you to comment, share ideas and hold me accountable.

Thank you for another great year!
