GOAL Create a purpose-driven community that restores hope, builds motivation, and helps members take measurable action toward their goals through mutual accountability and support. PURPOSE This category exists to track progress, maintain transparency, and document my personal journey as I grow this community. With 10+ years in Social Work and a background in Education, my mission is to use real-world experience to help others turn goals into action. TODAY’S UPDATE: 1. Refocusing My Vision chose to close The Horror Review community to redirect my time and energy toward a clearer mission—helping people overcome barriers and pursue personal growth. My expertise includes trauma, addiction, homelessness, parenting, mental health, and goal achievement. Mission: Build Hope to Action as a supportive, safe space where accountability, motivation, and structured pathways replace uncertainty and inaction. 2. Building an Online Presence: Launched a Hope to Action YouTube channel to share motivational content and promote the community. Future plans: expand to TikTok, Substack, and Facebook. 3. Developing the Community: Currently refining structure, coursework, and resources before full public launch. Goal: ensure every member gain value, clarity, and support. 4. Community Model & Cost: This group will always remain FREE to join/support others. There will be higher tier memberships for those whom would like to support the community's growth and gain access to all of the courses and access to 1 on 1 sessions with an experienced MSW. 5. Access & Commitment Options will always consider free access for individuals who show serious commitment, contribute actively, and support others. My goal is to work with YOU. My heart is in this and I want to do all I can to improve the lives of as many people as I can while creating an environment where people are supporting each other! PATHWAY (Next Steps) - Develop community curriculum and onboarding materials - Produce initial YouTube content - Schedule weekly live group sessions - Allocate daily focus hours for creation and community engagement - Recruit additional professionals as membership grows

Feel free to post how you are most comfortable with, but I will include an evidenced based template below. This part of the community is for helping hold each other accountable. Using this format is just an example. This lets us say when we wish to be tagged as a reminder. You can provide the update right here or post your update in Wins or both. Lets be supportive and encouraging! 1. GOAL (Pathway Focus) State your specific, measurable goal for this week. Example: “Finish Lesson 3 of the Hope Course and film my first short reflection video.” 2. WHY IT MATTERS (Agency Focus) Explain why this goal is important to you and what drives your motivation. Example: “I want to build consistency and confidence in showing up publicly for my mission.” 3. CURRENT STATUS (Reality Check)Briefly share what progress you’ve made so far and what’s standing in your way. Example: “I’ve outlined my script but keep delaying recording due to perfectionism.” 4. ACTION PLAN (Steps / Pathways) List 1–3 clear steps you’ll take before your next check-in. Example: “1) Record draft by Wednesday; 2) Post for feedback; 3) Edit final by Sunday.” 5. ACCOUNTABILITY ASK (Community Engagement) Say how others can help—feedback, check-ins, or reminders. Example: “Tag me if I don’t post progress by Saturday.” 6. REFLECTION (End of Week) Return to the post to update your outcome. Be honest—progress or not. Example: “I completed 2 of 3 steps. Recording felt easier after community encouragement.”
