I asked my friend, Donna Watson, published author and speaker, to write a post for us on the subject of setting goals for the new year. I hope you enjoy and are encouraged by her words.
I met Donna about 9 years ago at a writer’s conference in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I found out that she graduated from high school with my mother (Ft. Stockton, Texas) and even worked for my uncle when she was in high school. My uncle owned a radio station and Donna did a radio show called “Dinner Date With Donna.” Is that a small world or what?
Donna became a precious friend and a mentor. She is an encourager and motivator. She lives her life for Christ and it is very evident to everyone who knows her. I’m thankful that she was in my path and I know it wasn’t by accident. For this, I am very grateful!

Hi Beverly, Love this and thank you for sharing this from your friend. I have always set goals and continue to do so. Sometime I meet my destination exactly and other times not, but the good news is, a plan is a great motivator to our dreams and ideas. For me it helps to keep myself organize too.
Thanks again for sharing. I enjoyed reading over this as it reconfirms to me the importance.
Wishing you a lovely day filled with blessings my friend.
Hugs
