Children’s author Julie Hedlund, challenged participants of her 12 Days of Christmas for Writers series to post SUCCESSES (rather than resolutions) on our blogs this year. She believes the way New Year’s resolutions are traditionally made come from a place of negativity – what DIDN’T get done or achieved in the previous year. Instead, she suggests we set goals for the New Year that BUILD on our achievements from the previous one. I decided to participate in this Anti-Resolution Revolution! Here is my list for 2016.
This year has been an amazing year of highs and lows, of incredible personal challenges, yet it had many exciting plans that I have seen come to fruition. I have a chronic illness, Fibromyalgia. One of the ways that I deal with a chronic illness is to keep a gratitude box. This list was not a surprise but it was nice to see it all in one place. And this is just the beginning… Day 3: Successes

Hi Carrie. Thank you. The conference and school visit were highlights for 2016...and a huge deal for me. I didn't even know if I would physically be able to do it. I was so pleased to prove to myself that I could. Wow! You've had fibro for 30+ years. I've had it for 10+. You can understand that these events were/are a big deal. My first book will be released late 2017. It is exciting. And thank you for stopping by.

Thanks Julie. And thank you for all that you do all year, as well as this 12 Days of Christmas challenge. Last years' challenge made an impact on my goal setting for 2016.
