Live Wholeheartedly!



No failures. Feedback Only!
January 1st
A day in the life of....

The first day of the rest of my life!  Who’s game? Let’s hit the deck running!

I absolutely LOVE January!

It’s my time for new beginnings and new habits.  It’s my time to review last year’s feedback. (Notice I did not say “failures.”)


It’s time to get real.
What was my average day like last year?
How does it differ from my IDEAL DAY?
Here’s what I imagine….

A Day In The Life Of Judy Howard.

2018 marked one year of recovery since my hip replacement surgery in 2017. Before surgery, the focus of my desires was only to be healthy again. I wanted to be able to put my shoes on, to walk and to sleep without pain. I wanted to get back on a productive writing schedule but waiting five painful months for my surgery date led to bouts of depression.  I belabored my future, wondering if it was downhill from here on out.
With surgery a distant memory in my rearview mirror, in 2020, I am even more excited about 2020. I am living the life! I travel fulltime in my motorhome with my cat, Sportster. I visit awe-inspiring places and meet the nicest people on earth!

There’s no room for excuses and procrastination. Well, except that my mind wants me to me comfortable, and urges me to sleep in, eat that sugar loaded cinnamon roll, and to zone out, marathoning on the latest Netflix series.

But there is my soul -- longing and seeking, like the force of the river, pushing at the obstacles in its path so that I may thrive and become the best Judy Howard she can be …. whoever that is.




 Every new year I want to look back on the past year and say, “I can do better.”

I imagine my ideal day in 2020 which supports a schedule and will include blocks of time to write a blog to keep in touch with my family and you, my friends and fans once a week.

 I envision eating healthier and dropping that last fifteen pounds I’ve been trying to lose for so long.

I want to acquire a new habit of hiking two to three miles a day. Last year, my average hike was one mile a day.

And finally, I want to support to write a new book every year that will excite my readers.

Other resolutions which make the top ten list for most folks every year include   the categories of healthier eating and cooking, traveling, and always, always, always -- more time and more money. And I am an American so, they are on my list too.

How do you envision your ideal day? 
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!
AND MY WISHES   GO OUT TO THOSE OF YOU WHOM I MET ALONG MY JOURNEY  THROUGH 2019 AND ALL THE YEARS BEFORE!! YOU WERE LIKE A COZY FIRE ON A COLD NIGHT AND A REFRESHING ICY BROOK ON A HOT DAY. I LOVE YOU ALL!

Use your time and journey to their fullest!!  

Magic will happen!
