So, I've covered Change.

I've talked about Determination.

But I have been really thinking about obstacles lately.

There are so many of them.

They happen every day.

Sometimes more than once a day.

In this year of "Change" I have decided that there are no excuses either.

Obstacles will not be an issue this year.

I believe that with careful planning, much prayer, and determination I can overcome any obstacle.

I know that somedays it may be as simple as spending time just meditating.

Somedays a simple cup of tea might do it.

Other days I may need to be on my knees praying with every ounce of my being.

I am standing behind my right to say NO.

Keeping my yeses for the most important things.

Remembering it's okay to say NO.

Do you struggle with saying No?

Do you struggle keeping your focus and overcoming the obstacles?

I'd love to hear how keep the obstacles from standing in your way!
