March was a good month.
We had a mix of beautiful warm days and a few chilly ones—honestly, the kind of weather that reminds you a new season is right around the corner.
And as I do at the end of each month, I’m sitting down to reflect on my goals, what I accomplished, and what I learned along the way.
Because let’s be real—progress isn’t just about what gets done. It’s about what you take with you moving forward.
Financial Goals
Goal:
- Pay off one debt
- Save $100
What actually happened:
I paid off a medical bill and a credit card.
That’s a win in my book.
Did I save money?
No… no I did not.
But honestly? I’m okay with that.
Because progress still happened—and sometimes that’s what matters most.
Health Goals
Goal:
- Start morning walks
- Increase water intake
- Lose 5 pounds
What actually happened:
- I did increase my water intake ✔️
- I did not start morning walks ❌
- And I actually gained 3 pounds
And you know what? I’m not upset about it.
From the first Sunday of the month to the last, I was doing really well—until this final week. And to be real (and maybe a little TMI), I was on my cycle… so I’m going to go ahead and say water weight played a role here.
But beyond that, I think I needed rest.
And instead of forcing myself into routines that didn’t feel aligned, I listened to my body.
That counts for something.
Business Goals
Goal:
- Close three homes as a transaction coordinator
- Attend a networking or client event
What actually happened:
- I closed five homes ✔️
- I had dinner with a past client and realtor friend ✔️
Huge wins.
This is one of those areas where consistency and showing up really paid off.
Personal Goals
Goal:
- Read two books
- Spend at least half a day without my phone
What actually happened:
- I read nine books ✔️
- I unplugged during the Flowertown Festival ✔️
Honestly… I surprised myself here.
Books I Read This Month
- The Secret to Love, Health, and Money
- The Power of Self-Discipline
- From Self-Doubt to God Confidence
- Eliminate Negative Thinking
- The Declutter Journey
- Where He Can’t Find You
- The Aladdin Factor
- Get Rich Lucky Bitch
- Manifest Like a Mother
Family Goal
Goal:
- Attend the Flowertown Festival
What actually happened:
My husband and I went two out of the three days—and the day we missed?
Our new furniture was delivered.
Honestly… win-win.
I love the Flowertown Festival, and new furniture just makes everything feel more elevated at home.
Bucket List Moment
Goal:
- Bake muffins one day
What actually happened:
I made muffins on Sunday morning—two kinds because I couldn’t decide:
- Lemon poppyseed
- Cinnamon sugar
And yes… they were worth it.
Extra Wins (Because They Count Too)
- Added liner to two kitchen cabinets (by myself 💁♀️)
- Decluttered those cabinets
Because let’s be honest—those small wins? They add up.
First Quarter Reflection
When I zoom out and look at the first quarter as a whole…
It’s been successful.
- Listed all debts and created a payoff plan
- Read 21 books
- Closed on 10 homes as a transaction coordinator
- Decluttered multiple spaces
- Upgraded our living room furniture
That’s progress.
That’s growth.
That’s showing up—even when everything isn’t perfect.
Lessons Learned This Month
- Progress doesn’t have to look perfect
- Rest is sometimes more important than routine
- Small wins deserve to be celebrated
- Consistency will always outperform perfection
Final Thoughts
March reminded me that life isn’t about checking every box.
It’s about:
- Showing up
- Adjusting when needed
- And giving yourself grace along the way
Because even when everything doesn’t go as planned…
You’re still moving forward.
Tomorrow, I’ll be sharing my April goals and intentions—and I’m excited to see what this next month (and quarter) brings.
Let’s make it a good one.
