I have one of the same goals in 2016 as I had in 2015. 

Read one book per month.

It worked well for me last year, though I did miss a few months, and I would like to continue this same goal this year.

In December 2015, I started a book called I Will Teach You To Be Rich.  This book is written by Ramit Sethi and is described as a 6-week personal finance program that works.  I continued this book in January 2016, but still have a few more chapters to finish.  Because it is a book that requires action and I have been reviewing each chapter on my blog, it is taking longer than usual to complete.  Therefore, one of my reads for February 2016 is I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi.

 

 

​​​​​As part of our Christmas tradition, there are two items that the people in my household receives every Christmas eve.
1) Pajamas
2) A book

This year, I decided to get my husband an adult coloring book with colored pencils.  I brought my daughter a Melissa & Doug coloring book and jumbo triangular crayon set.  My husband gave me two books. 

 

One of which is based on T.D. Jakes #1 New York Times Best Seller entitled, Instinct: The Power to Unleash your Inborn Drive.  This is not the actual book, but rather the Daily Readings version of this book that provides 100 insights that will uncover, sharpen and activate your instincts.  I started this in January 2016 and will continue reading an excerpt each day until I finish.  According to my calculations, the 100^th day of 2016 is April 9^th, so be prepared to hear about INSTINCT Daily Readings: 100 Insights That Will Uncover, Sharpen and Activate Your Instincts for the next few months. Since each reading is only 2-3 pages, I will still be able to add a new book each month, without causing too much of an inconvenience.

 

 

The second book that my husband gave me is entitled, Make It Happen: Surrender Your Fear. Take the Leap. Live on Purpose., by Lara Casey.  I’ve never heard of this book or author, but apparently it got 4 ½ out of 5 stars on Amazon.  Also, a very popular lifestyle blogger (Mattie James of Mattieologie.com) mentioned this on her Periscope about her list of "to read" books for 2016.  Judging by these indications, I think this’ll be a good one to read.  Plus, my husband clearly has an idea of the things I struggle with and is attempting to provide me with assistance in overcoming my fears and taking the leap.  J  I will definitely give a full review once I am done.

My Passion Planner and Improptu Giveaway

I just received two compact (5.5"x8.5") Passion Planners in the mail over the weekend and want to give away one copy before the beginning of 2016.

The Passion Planner is a weekly planner that helps people break down their long and short terms goals into more actionable steps and gives them a place to incorporate these steps into their daily lives.

To learn more about the Passion Planner, visit their website at http://www.passionplanner.com.

To enter my contest to win a Passion Planner, do the following by Thursday, 24 December 2015 at 11:59pm:
1) Fill out the entry form here.
2) Like my Facebook page here.
3) Invite others to do the same.

*You may only enter the giveaway one time.....unless someone you refer also enters the giveaway and enters your name into the "Referred by" box on the entry form.

Why am I doing this?  Because I have more Passion Planners than I can use.  Because I brought my very first Passion Planner in the beginning to 2015 and I absolutely loved it.  Because I'd rather give my extra planner away to someone who'd actually love to have one.  Because giving something away is actually on my Christmas list.  Because I thought is was a great idea to do on my blog.

I will be announcing the winner on my blog on December 25th, 2015.  It is my Christmas present to you.  I plan to mail the Passion Planner shortly after, so that I can try to get it to the winner before New Years Day.
