So how am I doing with this challenge, now that I'm half-way through? Am I accomplishing what I set out to do?

Here is my bucket list:

1. Go to BEA - Yes! I made it this year and so happy to have finally experienced it. It was great meeting some of the bloggers I've been interacting with for years online.

2. Read the whole Bible in one year - I'm getting there. Some weeks it's been hit and miss, but I'm determined to meet my goal.

3. Go to the movies by myself - I haven't done this yet. When the kids are back in school, I'll probably go see a movie by myself and will relish the time alone!

4. Start a new business - Yes! In January I launched iRead Book Tours, a virtual book tour company, and then at the beginning of this month I launched Italy Book Tours. Thank you to all the bloggers who have signed up to be tour hosts!

It's been an exciting year for me. I want to thank you all for cheering me on as I posted about my BEA experiences and the start-up of my new businesses.

This challenge is being hosted by Book Journey.
