New Years Goals
A goal that will last an entire year is not completely my style. I prefer goal-setting in small increments of time to feel the progress and success. However, this year a few ideas kept coming to the front of my mind again and again. If anything, they were more of God’s way of perhaps nudging me to focus a little more attention on these areas than I have in the past. That my friends, I just can’t ignore. My goals are more of a prayer that I hope to be more intentional about in 2017.
Time: “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” -Mother Theresa
At times I get so defeated because I have been working for hours and still feel like I haven’t accomplished anything. My goal is to start, stay focused, and finish the task at hand. I love checking things off a list. Using my time to start and finish one thing is a lot more rewarding than starting three things and finishing none. 😉
Down time: Whether it’s reading, sipping coffee, or creating, I need some more down time. Intentional relaxation to regroup and count the blessings around me one at a time. 🙂
Food: We ate a ton of real food in 2016. It wasn’t deliberate, we just kind of fell in love with it. But, post-holidays have me going through a sugar withdraw. 😉 Eating more real food is without-a-doubt on the list and a prayer of mine and something I hope to continue to share with you.
So in 2017 I hope my time is full of purpose and meaning, my inspiration from the world around me is at an all-time high, and all the sensations foods bring will remind me of the goodness and memories close to me.
Here we go, 2.0.1.7!

Awesome goals! Finish one project before starting another… yep, that would be so helpful in being productive! Not to mention, it feels so good officially crossing something off the to-do list!

Real food, more veggies! This is on my list, too. Oh dear, the holiday’s = way too many M&Ms and pie…
