Reader,

The challenge has begun! Well, that's The 12-Week Year Challenge I'm referring to. I told you a little bit about it in last month's newsletter. But this month's newsletter is jam-packed with information on what the challenge is and how the challenge is going. And, I'll be keeping you updated as the weeks approach the end of 2026. You can find out all the details on page 4 of the newsletter, if you want to check them out.

As you can tell, I'm pretty busy with goal-seeking. But, how is it going for you? Are you embarking on your own goal-minded journey? I'd love to know. Also, if you need some encouragement or accountability partner assistance along the way, let me know that, too. I'd love to cheer you on and support you in your endeavors, if I can.

We're going to keep moving along with our goaling activities, as there is always so much to do and limited time to do it. So, let's keep pluggin' along. WE CAN DO IT! Let's just put our minds to it. If we can get the mind right, I bet our actions will follow.
