their day for prayer/meditation, exercise, or a hobby. At this point, there isn't one thing that I do like clockwork (which could just be part of my personality), but I feel it is important to be committed and consistent to something personal. A few months ago, I was going to enter my blog in a contest, but if you won you had to submit a blog 2-3 times a week. I had about six weeks until the deadline and I told myself that this was my chance to really push myself and write more. I could do it. And I didn't do anything. I think the deadline came and went without me publishing one post. So after that, it got me thinking that I'd like to practice being consistent. I'm starting here, with my blog! I plan on writing a new post every full moon. There is a little bit of fear involved because what if I don't have anything clever to write about? However, my hope is that this one little commitment every month will turn into a new strength of me following through with the things that I really want to do with my time.
*Note to reader: this blog has been sitting in my draft folder for over two months!! I still plan on finishing those books...

Consistency is a challenge and yet worth the effort. Eventually, consistency becomes comfort as you know what to expect and those around you see stability. I strive for more consistency and long for comfort. Until then, I'll continue to function through our chaos!
You can do it Becky! I'm looking forward to the next full moon and your next blog! I really liked how you described your "inconsistent" self though... I think that's what makes you such a free spirit! And you ARE a great writer...don't miss the next competition!
