Welcome, I’m Judith Ashley author of The Sacred Women’s
Circle series. I write contemporary romantic fiction that celebrates spiritual
practices that nourish the soul and honors the journey from relationship to
romance.
It’s time to take a look at what I want to
create in 2015. There are things I want to do. The big ones are spend over two
weeks in Ohio with my friend; spend four days at the coast in April with two
other friends; travel to Las Vegas in July for the US Conference for The
William Glasser Institute; and attend Emerald City Writers Conference in
October. Each of these events will take planning and will have an attendant
expense.
Smaller activities are monthly gathering with
my own women’s circle, the monthly Dark Moon gatherings, building community
within my neighborhood with like-minded women, and staying connected to other
people I’ve met on this journey.
Sponsoring and teaching at least two Basic
Intensive Trainings for The William Glasser Institute is also on my ‘Things to
do in 2015’ list. I love to teach and plan to write articles showing how the
basic concepts of Dr. Glasser can be used to enhance our lives bringing us more
of what we want. I’ve already created a couple of workshops for writers to use
these concepts in their writing lives and in their writing but somewhere along
the line stopped promoting them.
While these are all activities I’ll enjoy, what
is uppermost – actually at the top of the list – is completing the last three
novels in The Sacred Women’s Circle series.
Hunter, Gabriella and Sophia each have stories to be told. If
you’ve been reading the earlier books in the series, you’ve met these women and
may even have an idea of what their story will be about, who will end up with
who – I promise you this, at this point even I don’t know who Gabriella will
marry – only that she will.
The incomparable Christy at Gilded Heart Design
is working on the cover for Hunter. I’ve
got my own work to do before she can finish the covers for Gabriella and Sophia. You
may want to read her post on Cover Design to see what it takes to put a great
cover together.
You can also check out my author page at
Windtree Press to see her work as well as click here to visit my website.
My goals for 2015 are doable if I stay focused
and on track.
Do you set goals for yourself? How do you stay
focused to maximize your success? I’m always ready to try out new ideas, so
please share.

Best of luck with all your plans!
I like the word 'aspirations'. I do aspire to completing these projects and I agree with Bron and others that being happy or experiencing joy is a most important aspiration.
