I like to end and begin most years by looking back and looking forward. That makes this my official “infamous goal-setting post” of 2017.

Do You Have a Multipotentialite Support System in Your Life? (or How to ROCK Your Goals in 2015)

This post was written by Joanna Moore. It was a few days before the end of the year and I was finally sitting down to do my annual review. At last, it was time to grab hold of the tangle of dreams in my head and to tease each out into a concrete goal for […]

My Goals (or Lack Thereof) for 2015

I’ve restarted this post about half a dozen times now. I’m having a difficult time describing my goals for 2015, and I think that’s because I’ve been feeling a need lately to NOT plan.
