I risk vulnerability because goals I set reflect what’s on the inside… the quiet places that are sometimes hard to talk about.

So, because of that, I’m putting goals out there for all the world to see. I’m putting my goals out because I know that sharing with others creates accountability. That putting goals OUT THERE in the WORLD, allows others to encourage you.
