Sometimes, when life is difficult and you don’t feel like you can do “all the things,” you have to let something go. We have had so much on our plate lately that I really thought the garden would suffer, but I’ve managed to keep it alive and thriving and even weeded! I chose to let the website and social media go to keep the ultimate dream alive.

In this day and age, you feel so much pressure to have a virtual presence that it can make the goal overwhelming. The goal was never to have a million followers, it was to share the journey, but if it makes the journey more daunting, why do it? So I’ll post as able and start a social media presence when appropriate, but just not yet.

The important thing is to continue working toward the goal. For me, it is to have a successful vegetable and flower farm. For you, it could be to lose 20 pounds. Just because my journey to reaching a goal doesn’t look like someone else’s doesn’t mean I’m taking the wrong path. I’m just taking the one that best fits my life. I hope you are doing the same.

Remember, you aren’t them. You don’t know all of their circumstances, and they don’t know yours, so make your path your own! Don’t judge yourself because you can’t make room for “all the things.”

I encourage you to stay focused on the ultimate goal or the mini goal, whichever is less overwhelming and more realistic for you. Lately, my goal is just to keep it alive… It’s not dead yet!
