May's One Little Word prompts where all about "I am" statements.  This is the second year that I have done this prompt and I enjoyed it just as much this year as I did the last.

Here are my I am Statements for 2015 in no particular order:

I am open to growth. Listening and considering. Exploring. Willing.
I am determined to lean in to God and His plan for me.
I am refusing to give up on my journey to health.
I am stepping out in faith and into sisterhood. My action. God's plan.
I am taking the time to really celebrate life.
I am choosing to trust God without borders.
I am learning what it means to staying the path.
I am welcoming a life lived from the inside out. A generous life.
I am being found in His words, in His shadows and in His footsteps. Endlessly found!

I love my I am statements - they have all got such special meaning for me.  The one thing that I am not totally loving is the finished look of the cards. They didn't turn out how I had imagined them to and I think its mostly down to the mist. I am just not loving the mist in general.  So I may decide to redo them but I may also just leave them as is.

Summer is officially just around the corner and i can not wait!  When I sat down to look at what goals I wanted to set for June I considered skipping individual monthly goal setting during summer and instead just have Summer goals but I decided against it. Monthly goals keep me accountable over a more focused period of time and leaves me with the opportunities to reassess them should things change. 

May was the first month that I used the Tending List from Lara Casey's Power Sheets and I really love the daily focus that it gave me as well as the way it allowed me to focus on a number of different goals that I probably wouldn't have focused on had I just picked my normal monthly five to eight. So having said all that here are how my May goals went.

Monthly

Declutter my shed | I did not get around to this one at all....ops.
Brainstorm a strengths finder action plan | This one I can say that I completed - although not entirely how I had imagined I would at the time I set the goal.
Finish off the garden | Woohoo!  I have finally finished this one off and am so pleased with how it turned out. 
Set a monthly budget | Budget set.
Prayerfully start dating | This one is sort of a biggy for me right now.  Yes I have prayerfully started talking to guys but actually going out on a date not so much. One step at a time though right ladies!
No scrapbooking supplies to be purchased | Oh my word! This one was a toughie.  I was doing such a great job until Saturday when I went to Hobbycraft and they had a whole of new stash in and I caved.
Finish reading one book | Done. I finally finished John Maxwell's book called A Road Map To Success.

Weekly

Create a weekly food menu | I completed this two out of the four weeks so am giving myself 50%.
Two TV free evenings | I really loved having this this goal - I looked forward to it every week.
Connect with friends or family | In all honesty, I feel like I half cheated on this one. Yes I managed to tick the box each week but technically it was mostly my family that I connected with which I do anyway and so it wasn't much of a difference from every other month.
Create something | Another goal I loved completing weekly.
Listen to a new podcast | I think I am having a bit of an obsession with podcasts at the moment as I am listening to a new one every two days or so.

Daily

Intentional, clean eating | Man I totally failed at this one. Like probably 90 or even 95 percent of the month.
Spend time with God | This was definitely the daily goal that I achieved most often and I am so grateful for the difference it has made to me.
Physical exercise |  I achieved this an average of about two days a week. Not brilliant but not a total fail.
Water in the morning | Another fail - big time!
Gratitude for myself | At first this goal was one that I had to be really intentional about but as the days passed it quickly be second nature....and I love how I have this simple act a part of my daily life.

As you have seen there have been some great results and some seriously rubbish one but that is partly the point of setting goals - to make improvements from where you are to where you want to be.  Now onto my goals for June.
