We’re three-quarters of the way through 2013. The end of the year is quickly approaching.

Have you been moving towards your goals and accomplishing the things you wanted to this year?

Honestly, I’ve been approaching my goals slower than I wanted to. My eBook should have been released by now. I should have more followers than I do. I should feel more accomplished than I do.

Sitting here, I’m shrugging my shoulders and telling myself: It’s okay. And it is. We are where we are. Once we realize this, we can move on.

So, regardless of what you’ve accomplished or what you’ve knocked off your to-do list, you can move forward today.

With that behind us, let’s take a look at the top blog posts, top commenters, and site statistics. Heck, I’ll even through in some news!  Read more...

I cannot believe that August is now behind us. This summer hasn’t really seemed like a summer to us.

The weather has been less than summery and our lives have dramatically changed. I also haven’t been pursuing my goals as hard as I should have been.

What about you? How has summer treated you? I hope it’s been a swell summer.

As we’ve closed out August and the unofficial summer is coming to an end, it’s time to review how August went for JMLalonde.com. Let’s take a look at the top posts for the month, the top commenters, site statistics, and some site news.

Thank God July is finally done. Normally, it’s a great month but it’s been a struggle to get through.

However, we’re moving into a new month and that means new beginnings are available. Are you with me on that?

It also means it’s time for the monthly recap. Let’s see what June held for the blog.
