2019 Goals, Plans, Posts, Projects

I spent some time this last week looking over this past year and it’s accomplishments.  I also spent some time thinking about next year.  What do I want to accomplish?  Are there specific kinds of posts do I want to write for you?  What projects do I want to tackle and to accomplish to serve you all?  How do I personally want to grow?  How do I want to grow in my faith?  What are my preparedness goals for the year?  There are next steps as we “Homestead in the Burbs.”  Which ones should we tackle this next year?

I want to share my goals with you for several reasons.  (1) I want to be held accountable.  (2) I want you to have some idea of what is coming this next year.  (3) Because writing these goals, plans, and projects down makes it real.

Some of the topics that I plan to blog about are:

• We’re going to continue with preparedness kits
• Nuclear Preparedness
• Prepping for specific kinds of disasters
• Reaching out to our neighbors now.
• Bug out Bags
• Each month we’re going to have a prepping skill to learn and if possible perfect
• Natural health solutions to some typical health problems

 Projects I hope to tackle

Writing a book  – I’m going to tackle a recipe book of sorts, but it’s not your typical recipe book.  If things go wrong, once you run out of the basics, how are you going to handle things like toothpaste, deodorant, lotion?  What about the basics in cooking, things that we take for granted like baking powder, or condiments.  Then I’ll give you a treasure-trove of recipes that don’t require refrigeration.

Subscription Service – Do you long for more personal teaching from me?  Would you like to pick my brain about something on your mind?  Do you want specific handouts that are exclusive to a small group of people?  Then stay tuned.  I’m going to be doing a monthly subscription service. I’ll teach on a specific subject that I’ll announce at the beginning of any given month.  After that, I’ll open it up for a Q&A.  Your questions can be on the month’s topic, but it could be on any preparedness topic.  My goal date is for the month of April if all goes according to plan.

Preparedness Goals for 2019

• Plant 2 more fruit trees
• Plant 3-5 more berry bushes
• Develop a water catchment system
• Set up 4-6 4’x8′ raised garden beds
• Planning and planting a “guerrilla garden”
• Canning much of our own produce

Personal Goals for 2019

• Losing 30 pounds (I have a LOT more to lose, but that’s a start)
• Read 12 books this year – 3 prepper books, 3 personal development books, 3 business development books, 3 books on the Bible/Bible topics
• Complete 4 Bible studies
• Memorize 12 verses – again not much, but it’s something
• Take a 2 mile hike with my BOB
• Run drills monthly – fire, tornado, bug out
• Restock my short-term food storage and keep it stocked

What do I hope that you’ll take away from all this?  I hope you get excited about some of the things that we’re going to tackle this year!  My desire is that you’ll spread the word about what’s going on here.  I also hope that you’ll get some ideas for things that you want to take on as your own goals in 2019.

So What About You?

What are some of your goals for 2019?  I’d love to hear what things you are striving to accomplish?  Share some with us to give us ideas of things that others could set as a goal too.
