DOES SETTING GOALS WORK

I want to tell you gurls that I am a huge believer in writing down goals and saying them out loud. But, I will be honest and tell you that I used to think that was bull hockey but I am now a believer. I can kind of see why it helps because if you write something down it is like it imprints on your mind and then saying it out loud reminds you to do the effort to make the goal possible. It is like when I was in school studying for a test. I would write down the questions and the answers and I would remember them much more than if I just read them in my mind. I was working on a big goal last month in my RF business, one that we had never gotten even close to before. I wrote down the goal, I posted the goal for all the members on my team to see, I envisioned me making the goal, basically, I thought about it daily. I also thought about the story of the old man who drowned in a flood even though he had been offered a canoe, a rowboat, and a helicopter. He turned them all down saying that the Lord was going to save him. When he got to Heaven he asked the Lord why He had let him drown. Of course, the Lord replied that He had sent the canoe, the rowboat, and the helicopter. In my case, I decided to do everything in my power, I canoed, I rowed, and I flew in the helicopter and then I knew that I had done everything that I had been given to work with. Does anyone else write down goals? Do you think it helps? This flowy tunic will get you in the mood for fall. I love all of the deep tones and especially the mustard color, it is one of my favorite fall colors. This is made oversized and is supposed to have the swing motion and lots of fabric. I am wearing a medium. The sleeves are a bell design and even though this is a long sleeve top it is lightweight and not hot. This is the type top you want for that transition phase when it is hard to know what to wear. This was in my Trunk Club shipment and the black color has already sold out! WOW! That was super fast but the good news is that it is still available in red and that is probably even cuter than mine. Lol!

I have on a couple of new Plunder items on today. The Jo necklace is a red marble acrylic stone on a gold chain and it is adjustable 20-23″ long. The Danella necklace features textured pearls and gold rings with a faux horn and it is 33-36″ long. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the faux horn detail but I do like it. I think that I will wear this a lot more this fall. The large gold cuff is called the Muriel and it is 8.5″ but it does have a few links that you can take out to make it smaller. The Ciara earrings are gold filigree metal and they are a 3.5″ drop. These are probably my favorite earrings from the new line. The faux yellow satchel is a great size. It is like the baby bear of purses, not too big and not too small. Hahaha! It is also versatile which is a plus. It has two different handles so you can wear it on your shoulder or just carry it by the short handles. BUT, it also has a detachable clutch on the inside that you can carry separately if you choose. Consider this two for the price of one. Also, the texture on this purse makes it really really hard to tell that it is not leather. I had to look at the tag when I got it out of the trunk to figure it out. I didn’t even mention the black dress jeans from Karen Kane. These are super old but I still love to wear them occasionally. I really would normally have worn white with this top to make it POP but I had just worn white pants the day before and I hated to wear them again. There are times when what I wear in person is different than what is on the blog that day.
Can you believe it is already August? We will be talking about that on tomorrow’s blog. Let me know what plans you have for the upcoming month. I think that I might have a trip to Florida coming up in August, I am still trying to decide whether to go or not. I am afraid Joe is going to really look at changing the locks if I don’t start staying home some. Lol!!!
