It ’s that time again !
I love New Year ’s resolutions . I also love Mondays .
Goal #1: Publish 2 Gardening Books
Last year I made a goal to publish three Modern Holy Writ . Unfortunately , I only handle to write one – and I ’d written that in 2016 . Thanks to a wrecked car , I spent an inordinate amount of sentence take the bus to grocery stores . I also did not have an government agency of my own , so I worked in the planetary house surrounded by children and noise . And I had bad internet .
Now I have a car , so no more retentive bus trip-up . And I have my own office and nice cyberspace .
TheSouthern Beekeepingbook has been held up by my co - author who is really busy . However , I got in touching with him this morning and he ’s ready to enclose it up . Heck yeah !
I ’d like to compose Tactical Gardening this year , plus do a re - write of Totally Crazy Easy Florida Gardening admit what I ’ve read from talking with Steve Solomon in 2017 . We went back and forward on a book undertaking but it had a set of overlap with my current book , so I may just integrate what he shared with me into a fresh , flesh out version of that one .
Also , this is the yearTurned Earth : A Jack Broccoli Novelcomes out . The third draft was re - write last hebdomad and send to an editor program , plus I ’ve contract and illustrator for the cover charge and upcountry . It ’s going to be awful . My publishing company will release it this year .
Goal #2: Secure Land for Gardening
There ’s a fourth acre plot about a block from our Modern place which may be available for me to plant on . Last year I made a goal to grease one’s palms a Modern homestead but that simply did n’t work out . state is expensive and I do n’t believe in debt , so we ’re lease for now . I ’ve yield up on buying for the time being . It ’s in God ’s hands . Not owning state is hunky-dory with me so long as I have a place for my yam and pumpkins . And that segues into Goal # 3 .
Goal #3: Create A Balcony/Porch Garden
Part of me want to “ not bother , ” but I ’ve also told people I ’m conk to see what I can do on gardening in a humble space . The main rationality I do n’t require to bother is because I desire to get more work done and I also do n’t want to set up a bunch of container I may have to move in a year or so . But who knows ? I should just go for it , one container at a sentence , and see how I can tweak the system to give me good takings . Then save a al-Qur’an about it , of course .
Goal #4: Hit 60,000 Subscribers on YouTube
powerful now , I ’m just beneath my 2017 finish of remove 30k :
Goal #5: Stick to a Workout Regimen
Over the last class I sink below 160lbs for the first meter since I was in my former 20s . At my lowest in July , I was 151lbs . That ’s rather thin for someone who is 6’1″. I need to eat more pith and lift more weighting to ramp up my brawniness up . I ’d bed to extend to 170lbs and have it be mesomorphic weight unit . I ’m not certain if I can pull it off , but there ’s no scathe in trying . I do n’t enjoy working out and I do n’t tend to rust all that much , so I ’ll have to do both on a regular basis to hit this one . At the terminal of 2017 I get back into a regular workout regimen before jump into go and lose my rhythm again . sentence to sample again .
Finally
ultimately , I ’ve got a net ton of other composition and audio editing work I do which has nothing to do with my farming / gardening / homesteading body of work here . I ’d wish to really leverage that up into a money making machine so I can be freer to pursue horticulture .
So , what are your goals ?
