My Word for 2023: PRODUCTIVITY

I know today is not the 1st April, however tomorrow is the start of the April A to Z Blogging Challenge, and I didn’t want two posts going out on the same day. March has been a bit of a weird month for me. I have had a few weeks off work due to having some annual leave to take before April. This has provided me with some breathing space which has been really nice. It has also provided me with the opportunity to explore some other things and I have a new project which I am now working on. I am not going to share what it is at the moment, as it is still in the very early stages and might all amount to nothing, but I am very excited.

April A to Z Challenge

As I have previously mentioned, during April I will be participating in the April Blogging from A to Z Challenge. This means that I will be posting on a different letter for each day in April. I did compose a theme post which you can read here <<<. My theme is – Places I Have Been. I am looking forward to starting this tomorrow and I hope you will find my posts interesting.

If you want to know more about the The Blogging from A to Challenge >>>Click Here<<< It will take you to their official website. Also if you have the time and inclination you can also look for the hashtag #AtoZChallenge on Social Media. You never know you might find a new favourite blogger. A few years ago I discovered some excellent bloggers who I still follow and I also got some great recommendations for various things through their posts.

Goals for 2023

I did intend to post twice a week on here during March, but I was distracted and also couldn’t think of anything worth writing about. Instead I planned my posts for the A to Z Blogging Challenge. I am hoping that this will help me get back into blogging.

Below are a five goals I have for this blog for 2023.

• To post at least twice a week on Lulu-By-Place – April this will begin due to the A – Z Challenge.
• Keep track of my fitness and (hopefully) weight loss in a monthly post – No post in March as I forgot all about it, but I will schedule in a post one Sunday in April, between the A to Z posts.
• Post my 50 Things before 50 List – The list is posted. I am working on bits and pieces but I will do a proper update in April.
• Do something interesting at least once a month – full disclosure, this will be of interest to me, so my interesting thing might not be that interesting for you – I did a couple of interesting things in March. Myself and my daughter visited Resorts World at the NEC. I had been to the Arena before but not the shopping centre/entertainment hub. It was really nice and I also went to TGI Fridays for the first time. I had a burger, not very healthy but I had try one. I also attended the Miniatura Show at Stoneleigh with my mother. We had a great time and spent far to much.
• Social Media Goal – To post at least once a week on Instagram (I keep forgetting) – Yep, I am so bad at this. I need to make a plan and post something interesting.

Hope you all have a good April and I look forward to seeing you all more during the month ahead.
