I do. Well, the goal itself is secret – the fact I have a secret goal is obviously not so secret now.
Loud and clear now: “My name is Julie and yes, I have a secret goal.”
I’m not going to share what it is quite yet, I am sticking with it personally on my own in quiet until I get comfortable sharing about it and when I do, I am going to show it rather than tell it.
This post is my way of showing its beginnings that today moved from thought into action and goodness, that action feels remarkable.
My birthday is three months from Monday and my goal is to aim toward this goal daily until then and on that day, my birthday, I will elect how to focus for the quarter after that and throughout the year, I will continue to move and assess every quarter.
Why a secret (yet not entirely since I am sharing about it here) goal rather than just blurting it all out in its whispered audacious self-consciousness?
Secret because the little girl in me is scared of disappointing my adult self, she knows my adult self has had too many moments of sadness this year and to make a wild pronouncement… and then if something disrupted it… she is well aware I have come close to my personal limits of being ok with the muck of life this year and she is protecting me – herself – by standing here, holding my hand, in self-protection and love.
When we work on this secret-not-so-secret goal, we smile and laugh and jump up and down… yes. This final quarter my friends… it will be such a blast to share with you.

Hmm…a secret goal? I never thought of that as a concept. I should come up with one. I like the secret part because if I don’t fufill the goal, no one will be the wiser. When I set my 2019 goals, think I’ll add a secret goal in invisible ink. Great post, Julie!!!

I feel freedom and joy having a secret goal. My plan is to unveil it on my birthday as a goal for the entire year. Either that or let it go entirely.
It feels so good!
Absolutely, Jennice – add it in invisible ink! 🙂
