Happy New Year!

Let's welcome 2025 with a happy heart and an open mind. Every year, the new year gives us a chance to begin new and start a new path. It's a rebirth. We can say goodbye to our old ways and say hello to bigger and better things.

This year, I plan to focus on getting healthier physically, emotionally, and spiritually! I honestly hate the term New Year's resolution. It seems too often we start them and then the excitement fades slowly away. This year, I don't want to start it and have it quickly fizzle out. I'm looking at long-term goals! I want to achieve my goals!

Here are my goals for the new year...

Health~

Walk at least 30 minutes a day

Lift weights 3 times a week

Yoga 2 times a week

Improve my gut health

Eat more fruits and vegetables

Cut down on my sugar intake

Lose weight and gain more muscles

Lose 20 pounds

Personal Growth~

Learn a new hobby (knitting)

Spiritual Growth~

Read the Bible daily

Pray the rosary 3 times a week

Work through my Bible studies

Read 10 faith-based books

Realtionships~

Spend more time with friends and family

Communicate more with family

Branch out and meet new people

Appreciate the people I have in my life

Around the House~

Organize and Purge

Plan out weekly meal plans

Follow the Fly Lady cleaning plan

My Carreer~

Grow my Scentsy business

I'm hoping that by setting specific and achievable goals, I will be able to keep my New Year's resolutions. I know if I start slow, and stay steady and consistent, I will be able to change my life for the better.

What are your personal goals and resolutions for the New Year?

Goodbye 2024!

It's hard to believe it's the last day of 2024.

Can you believe it's already the very last day of the year?

It doesn't seem possible.

When we're children it seems like the years go by so slowly and that you'll never be a grown-up and do whatever you want whenever you want. Oh to be young and naive again! As I've gotten older (and hopefully a little wiser), the years seem to be passing by quicker and quicker. Children have grown up, friends have moved, and loved ones have passed on. The things we held so precious we find our not as important as they once were. The things we took for granted seem to be what we value the most now. It's funny how as we age our perspective of what is important changes. The little things matter the most. Our family, friends, and faith seem to become the main focus of our lives. We chose to leave the drama and negativity behind.

As I look back at 2024, I am so thankful for the life I have been given. I am blessed with all that God has given me. As I sit at my kitchen table and sip my English Breakfast tea, I ponder and reflect on all the wonderful experiences, challenges, and growth I've had over the past year. Sure, there have been ups and downs over the year, but they have all given my life purpose and meaning. I can feel proud of all the things my family and I have accomplished. I love looking back and thinking about the times I've spent with my husband, my children, and my friends. Just sitting here listening to the dog snore brings a smile to my face.

So as I say goodbye to 2024, I'm thankful for all the memories I made over this past year. I look forward to all the new, amazing opportunities that are waiting around the corner. Here's to hope and new beginnings in the new year!
