Mid-Year Summary: Are We Where We Should Be?

Of course! I used to be anxious about making EVERY SINGLE AMBITIOUS GOAL I've set for the Trees, but I've become more relaxed over the years. Sure - I still make ALL those challenging goals, but I don't worry if we don't make some of them. There have been some bumps along the way, but so far it's been an accomplished year!
