The Final Countdown: 25 Days

link to original here

Ooo, I'm a little bit nervous. My August 25 deadline is coming up and I've got a lot left to do. You can find updates here, and then this is how you can help:

Do you have something you've really wanted to do, or to at least work towards doing, for awhile? Some goal or idea you want to see come to fruition? 

Here's where you stop putting it off and finally just do it. Sit down and write it out. Maybe you want to start a good habit. Maybe you want to quit a bad one. We've got 25 days to do this, eh? And we are each other's support system to succeed, because these next 25 days are not necessarily going to be easy. Not everyday, anyway.

So I'll post something daily that's inspired me to keep going. Something little -- maybe a video, a picture, a quote. A writing tip or tricks. A song. A link to another blog. Whatever. You do the same, and then post your link in the comments each day.

I have this theory that we are all connected in ways that words just don't do justice for. Call it energy, call it spirit, call it magic. Call it what you will. But I think that if a bunch of us are helping push each other towards positive things for the next 25 days -- things we've always wanted to do but never had the [fill in the blank; ex: self-confidence, time, support] to do -- maybe it'll make our struggle just a little bit easier? That's the idea, anyway.

I'm planning on taking two days off a week to rest and reassess. Probably Sundays and Thursdays. You can do the same, or just keep plowing through.  

Are you game? If so, what's your goal? What's your plan? And what's your inspiration today?
