The first installment of my 2019 monthly goals is here with January goals! Last year I found myself adding goals to the list that I knew I would complete, or just things I had planned to do. Often plans and goals overlap, but this year I also want to be more intentional about taking steps…

2019 goals
This year is a year of change. We will find out where Will will do his medical residency in March, he graduates from medical school in May, and we will have to be wherever residency is by mid-June. Even if we end up staying at a program in the area, the first year of residency…
december goals
As I write this, there are about 10 inches of snow outside with more falling. This is the first time in my memory that North Carolina has had more than a dusting in December, and while it feels odd, after seven days of being on the road, it is a great reminder to slow down….
november goals
We are already one-third of the way into the month and I’m just getting around to posting my goals. I have had some of them written down in different places, but am only now putting them in one list. With Thanksgiving, Christmas, work events, and travels for Will’s interviews coming up, I know the next…
october goals
I love October. While it doesn’t feel like fall outside yet, October always symbolizes the beginning of fun autumn festivities and the changing season.

august goals
August is such an abrupt jolt after leisurely the summer pace of June and July. All of the sudden, school is starting, vacations are over, and, in the academic world, work gets busier and more urgent. The beginning of July and 4th of July celebrations seem like a long time ago. July was full of…
july goals
Happy July! July weather is here in full force with enough humidity to feel like you are swimming as you walk down the street. I love the slow pace of the summer that comes during 4th of July week. Emails slow down, the pool fills up, and everyone is in the mood for a good…
june goals
May was a whirlwind of travel, celebrations, and visitors. Even though it was packed to the gills, it was probably still one of my favorite months of 2018 yet. It was so busy, but I still felt like I created a good balance of self-care and alone time and fun social activities and time with…
may goals
April was great, but it turned out to be much busier than I originally anticipated, with lots of unexpected odd hours at work. Because of this, I didn’t get around to crossing off some of my April goals. I did make progress on some that I didn’t fully complete, which makes me feel better going…
