Reader,

Welcome, welcome, and welcome! I'm thankful to have you join me at this month's issue of the L.I.T. News Newsletter. It's all about L.I.T. (life-improvement training) around here. And, I'm excited to bring you some more positive, life-impacting information that I pray you'll be able to take with you to mentally feast on from time to time.

I also want to let you know that I have a new goal-oriented journey that I'm about to embark upon, starting a week from today (on Sunday, October 4th). Now, while this is my "12-Week Year" Challenge, I'm sharing it with you on the Degrees of Maternity blog site, so you can take what you can from it to assist you with your own goal-setting/achievement journey. Because . . . I would have to imagine that there are some things you need to get goaling on and time is of the essence. So, let's go on this journey together.

I'll not only share what my personal and professional goals are for the remainder of 2026, but I'll let you in on the plans to get to my goal destinations and how I'm going to execute on those plans. Sound good?

And on top of that, we'll go through some chapter summaries of The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington. Because -- you just might want to take a look at this book for yourself. I think I'm on my 3rd read of the book, which means I like it . . . A LOT! It's that type of content that can give you a kickstart right in the rear end if you let it do its thang. And, I definitely need the "not so gentle nudge" sometimes.

So, get ready for some goal-oriented action to come from my end of the Internet. Now, what about your end? Will you join me? . . .

Let's make our intentions to GET WORK DONE a done deal. We've got to execute the plan. That's the only way we'll see progress. That's the only way we'll reach our goal destinations.

Have some great weeks to come! Until we meet again . . .
